do the BBMF normally perform a ‘syncro pair’ routine with their Spitfires?? I was watching AB910 and PS915 going through a really nice routine the other day, and I couldn’t recall the BBMF doing that before… or is it just my memory going!!!
don’t forget if you’re in the vicinity on Mon and Tues mornings the fleet’ will be going through this years display routines (in company with noisy pointy things)

anyone know what time the lanc is displaying at waddington on sunday?

This explains why they are showing two spitfires booked for many shows this year i can’t wait to see this years BBMF show,with and without the Lanc.

I’ve seen it done with a pair of griffon engined spits, very nice too.:)

No it was definately a syncro pair and yes it has been done in the past.
By: Guzzineil - 23rd April 2004 at 21:17
no this was a full routine.. a/c at either end of the display axis mirroring each other then cross-overs in the middle.. managed to make my lunchbreak coincide with it!! 😀

It wasn’t a rehearsal of their changeover, was it? One fighter pulling up and away as the other comes ‘on stage’?
