This weekends' BBMF flypasts May 7th-8th 2022

Does anyone know which aircraft will be where? Trying to find out who will be at Southampton. My guess would be a spitfire or two. Any ideas folks? X

Participants still not confirmed but expect a 'Heavy' & two Fighters subject to serviceability. My money is on the Lancaster & two Spitfires. :grinning:
The focus of the flypast is Southampton Docks within the 12:55 until 13:45 time-slot. All Flypast venues en-route have the same size time interval to allow for delayed take-off or unplanned routing changes. The BBMF are known for their precise timing I would favour the earlier slot time!

ONLY a single Hurricane showing on ADSB south of Oxford? It’s normally the ‘heavy’ that pings for the formation on a Heritage c/s. Not looking good perhaps?😲
