Monster military flypast over London on 10th July 2018

[editor]

Look up!

Upwards of 100 military aircraft are due to join a huge flypast over central London this coming July.

While The Queen gets a military flypast over Buckingham Palace for her birthday, the RAF are this year getting their own birthday flypast, to mark their 100th birthday.

The flypast will take place on the afternoon of 10th July, and is expected to form up over Essex before heading over East London as they line up to pass over The Mall and Buckingham Palace.

The flypast will then disperse, with planes and helicopters heading over other military bases around West London and the Home Counties.

They had an old Lancaster in the transport museum in Auckland. Not as big as I expected.

Certainly not compared to the average passenger bus nowadays. I went for a ride in this one.

I was in the cadets with a bloke who went on to lead the Arrows - and I've had a very-serious-work-essential/jolly in a Hawk. Sadly however I won't be attending, as it's POETS day, and I knock off at 12....

Planned for the Mall on Tuesday 10 July at 1300BST.

Aircraft will formate over The Wash, The North Sea and Southwold, Suffolk and Southend from 1145BST onwards then route Swaffham-Thetford-Colchester to London and overfly Buckingham Palace. Subsequent dispersal will occur to the south and west of London variously over Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

Current rumour is that there are to be 109 aircraft involved (100 plus the Red Arrows).

Cessna 172 only for me these days. Last year I did have the chance of a flight in an RAAF Hawk 127 and I thought, just one last time... In the end I respected the spousal three line whip and didn't do it. If the offer had been for stick time in an F/A-18F I'd be single now.

Don't worry. They probably won't kill anyone that day.

Looking forward to this.

That's beside the point. Cheering this shit on ain't cool

A bouncing bomb released just after Admiralty Arch with a final bounce over the vicky memorial and in to the balcony is something we can all get behind and celebrate

please yourself - personally i have no interest in how other people go to the toilet, but i respect your choice.

Of course it is. It's cool af. Superb testaments to engineering and all the progress that's been made as a result of the science behind their development.

You and me should go watch them together

I think they might need to update their testimonials page...

Anyway this fly by great cover for the coup

Should've waited three more days when the orange twat arrives and done a strategic strike on the fucker as soon as he gets off the plane.

You know, I had to think carefully about posting on this thread.

I'll be home for this. I'm looking forward to it.
