mutley 4,498 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Found this on the web not sure how accurate is is? RAF's 90th Anniversary flypast in front of The Queen on Friday 11 July, will comprise the following in this order: 3 Chinooks 2 Pumas + 2 Merlins 1 Sea King 4 Gazelles (? or DHFS component) 2 Tutors + 2 Fireflys BBMF C-130 + 2 Dominies + 2 King Airs 9 Tucanos 5 Hawks VC-10 E-3D Sentinel + 2 Hawks Nimrod + 2 Hawks Tristar + 2 Hawks C-17 9 Typhoons 4 Harriers 9 Tornado F3s 9 Tornado GR4s 9 Red Arrows I make that 87 + BBMF !!! Apparently taking place between 2:30-2:45pm. In a NW to SE direction across 09/27's midpoint. This appears to be what was in your video Phil so if wonder if they changed the day?

wisemanp 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mut- My video was the rehearsal for this flypast ,which it seemed only the jets took part in. Me and Dad are heading up to Fairford tomorrow to see some arrivals, as there is a backlog due to yesterday's rain, and we will also hopefully see the whole flypast. Today I was woken up by the B1 flying over, as we are directly under the route the USAF aircraft take in! Link to post Share on other sites
