Spitfire:
Thanks for the info it would be a grand thing to see but a wee bit too far away for me.

Cheers

Well, I think I have the best seat in the house, well in the back garden anyway. The BBMF are up doing a final rehearsal for tomorrow, they have been flying around for almost an hour, sounds fantastic. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Flypast was awesome. It not the same on the telly as you don’t get the noise. They were pretty low.

We were on Horseguards Parade as guests of the RAF (my son is in the band) so they came over our shoulder.

Never seen so many top brass. Princess Anne was there too.

I sat in a Typhoon cockpit and chatted to an F35 pilot on their static stand.

There was also a Spitfire (replica), Sopwith Camel (real), Dakota (real and they have to take the wings off to move it around), Chinook (real and dirty/well used), Harrier (real), Tornado (mock up) and the F35 which was a model but used for training techies. The RAF only have 4 F35s so far and 3 of them were in the Flypast.

We had a great time

F35 cockpit has about three switches and a massive touch panel. It also has voice control but the guy said it wasn’t as good as the one in his car. Not something you’d want to use in combat!

I managed to finish work early today and raced back down the A14 and A12 stopping at Easthorpe just in time to drop my camera on the floor and loose the battery.
The bridges over the A12 where totally rammed with people one old girl in a Fiat 500 almost caused a pileup when she decided to almost stop to wave too them.
