From RAF Odiham’s Facebook page, I note that one machine will be sporting a rather nifty commemorative paint job for the occasion. The forecast for the North and West of the route isn’t great for tomorrow, I believe, and I wonder at which point the decision to postpone will be made, if required?
I don’t want to have to drive for all of 10 minutes if it’s postponed :highly_amused:

That’s a very optimistic farewell tour they’re planning. It remains to be seen how many cabs actually make it around the entire circuit. Busy day for AMSU (or whatever they’re called these days).
