I plan on watching the flypast at the end of its route at Brize

[Mayfly]

As I'm working Monda,y Wednesday, Friday at the minute - if I'm still working guess which day they'll make it!!!!

[Stigish]

I'm making a flying visit to guildford on the the 12th June, what time is the flypast scheduled for?

I'd love to be able to take a detour on my way home to catch it, any ideas where the nearest viewing place would be to the M3?

[Mayfly]

from memory the actual flypast is 1 - 1.30 I remember because they didn't televise it on BBC2 as they had the Trooping of the Colour, once HRH left the parade square they put a repeat of Question of Sport on 2 & I complained bitterly to the BBC as there was only 30sec on the 1o'clock news...

No idea of other timings sorry. I would expect more info on the fora nearer the time tho'

I'll be watching it from Coningsby as I'm free loading on their families day

Love it

I'd be keen to know what sort of time you think you'll be at Brize Cluny / anyone else? I'm thinking it will probably be the best place for me to play spectator while doing a huge detour on my way back to sunny Dorset from Surrey and the fact I can't get lost around those parts.

I shall be there [26 , eastern end] from about 9-10 ish in the morning till about 4 or 5 in the afternoon as im free loading the families day too [weather permitting]
If you do come , park at the village hall [opposite the Chequers pub] and walk up as the local plod is abit fierce on parking near the approaches at the mo .

Looking at the maps, it'll take me about 1hour 30mins to get to brize from guildford so i'll be there by noon (hopefully not too late by then).

I'll PM you nearer the time to make sure I can find you.

Easy Stiggy just look for his cap poking out above the trees!!!

[RLN]

Or his umbrella.

[Xplumberlives]

We know have an EASTERN Stiggy, does he have a WESTERN counterpart?

Do the team from waddo do a practise form up and return? I can make the 8th, just wondered if it was worth the trip.

[IanM]

Nice to see they're using the same route again for the flypast, I don't even have to leave the house

[Hihonyr8811]

Same here for the practice, they use the field near my house as the splitting point lol, had great fun last year watching them go over and separate

[Xplumberlives]

I think I might just venture out to the Spalding Golf Club (PE11 4EA) on the 8th or 9th of June, depending upon the weather!

[Mayfly]

Hi Jim - last year IIRC it was a just a straight fly through

[Mayfly]

Well it looks like crap weather this week for the practice!!!!

If anyone hears or sees anything will you post the info here please?

As M.F. says, weather not very inspiring!

[Mayfly]

just said on the local weather between 25-50mm of rain this afternoon!!!

So that rules out Waddington then for today!!

[Xplumberlives]

Looks FAR better for tomorrow!

[Mayfly]

weather is looking good - had brightened up considerably


worth a punt I reckon!!!
