Well, I did leave my name and number, and confirmation mail has arrived. Hopefully I’ll even be able to come across for this gathering.
Does the Dutch IX still wear the silver scheme?
And to the owners of MT818, still enough time to paint the bird nice and yellow… 😉

TJ – the formation will launch from Goodwood (Boultbee’s home base). Many of the 35 aircraft advertised (unfortunately it’s probably down to 34 now after the incident at Biggin Hill) will be on the airfield for the Goodwood Revival event over the preceding w/end. That will probably be the best place to watch the take offs and formation assembly.
By: T J Johansen - 3rd August 2015 at 20:23
Nachtjagd is right on the money. It seems no one knows much about this. Not even Boultbee has updated their website for some time. And if I were to book a trip for it, now would be the time.

Is this at Duxford?
By: Nachtjagd - 3rd August 2015 at 12:12
I think the OP is referring to this:
Does anyone have route details yet?
By: The Navigator - 3rd August 2015 at 01:23
I must apologise to T J Johansen,:apologetic: PeterW is quite correct, so please disregard my info regarding the 18th, unless, of course you would prefer to visit in August,
Regards,
Rich

I believe the Biggin Hill event is the 18th of August, not September.

This link may help you: http://www.battleofbritainmemorial.org/uncategorized/1381/flypast-will-honour-the-few-on-15-september/
Although they seem to suggest that the 15th is on a Sunday, which is not true.
The main commemoration in the South of England is on the 18th September & consists of three flights of WW2 fighters operating out of Biggin Hill
http://www.sevenoakschronicle.co.uk/Legendary-Spitfires-Hurricanes-set-Biggin-Hill/story-25884642-detail/story.html
Once again there is an inaccuracy as it states that the 18th is a Tuesday, it is in fact a Friday.
To answer your question, the best place on the 15th is the Memorial to The Few at Capel-le-Fearne & on the 18th, Biggin Hill, or any of the places mentioned in the link above.
Regards, Rich.
