They’ll be overhead Southwold just like the 8th AF used to and will head at about 280kts at 1500 amsl to buzz the Mall at 17.55 local. After that they’ll be heading for Brize.

Hmm, now there’s an idea. What trade-in value would get for a Cherokee I wonder…? 😉

RE: Not to be missed
Good effort, and probably the last time we’ll see such an ariel procession. In fact, I’m surprised they’re able to throw that much metal and flesh into the air at any one time these days.
Or is it an entire inventory list of the RAF Plc, showing what we’ll have left after the MoD beancounters have had their fun?
I just hope nobody tries to get agressive with us while they’re busy doing their flypast, I’ll be called up to defend the country in a Cherokee. 😉
And what’ll the Navy be left with I wonder, two trawlers and a canoe?
