Awesome -  think i'll take a quick stroll out of the office at ten to 1 then! :)

1st of april?

thanks for the background information :)

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known about this except for this post. I will definately be taking a walk down to the river at lunch time to watch the flypast. Thanks

I've just sais to Leftie Senior I fancy going (£50.00 rail fail), he said in ex RAF voice "wait ten years". My reply was that there will be no RAF in ten years judging by current govermental standards.

But there is a problem here and I ask you all for your advice.

My little classic 1973 Triumph GT6 needs some work on it and Tuesday pm will be perfect for doing it so it will make LM again.

Question:- What should I do?

Go to London.  The Triumph can always make the trip to LM next year.  The Red Arrows may have been axed by then in a cost cutting programme.

Cool, my office is next to the Eye, should get a good view ....

Trouble is Doris, I can't wear my Ivin jacket without the car!!!

After due consideration I think I'll donate my train fair to one of the chatities FS mentioned.

But I may still go.

Well it wasn't worth it if you did go. One fly by then off up towards Wembley and that was it. I think there will have been a lot of 'less than satisfied' people there as there were thousands of people lining the Waterloo & Jubilee bridges and the embankment .... ho hum.

Taken from Shell Center by chance?

Perhaps ...  ;D

Thing is, it was always billed as a Flypast, not an air display. I saw them over Tower Bridge :) Headed off towards the Mall and Buck House.

They even had a 'map' of the flypast on the website, showing one straight line over a bit of London. And also, the word 'flypast' in itself pretty much makes you think they were going to, well, fly past. So disappointed people just got their hopes up to high. Not something you can blame the RAF for.

lol- thought as much - I'm based in shell Mex ;D

Taken from the north side of Lambeth Bridge..

Straight out of the camera, sorry for the spots on the lens; I will clone them out in PS when I get a chance...

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to resize them before posting...

Thanks for 'dem Toby

cheers

1st, 2nd or 4th floor? I was there until Feb this year .....  :o

lol -  2nd at the moment... -  but my assigment date is up, so looking to go down to the 1st... ;) :)

That will be the rule of 'thirds' in composition then Toby, it is not easy when trying to do it but very easy when not  ;D

Are you taking some special vodka this year??

>Martini...

I think so..it seems like a good idea just to offset the stubbies! I have started back on the Westons Organic Cider in the last couple of weeks (thank you work pressure!) so might have to bring some of that as well...

You planning on being in the same spot? If so then me and Perdu will come and seek....

Toby, if you clone them, won't the spot still be there or are you talking about genetic engineering by getting rid of them? Remember, the Embrio Bill has not been past yet.

Yes should be in the same spot , if you mean the camping, just by the hole in the wall on HA. I might even have the pleasure of the ... sh*t I cannot even remember where they came from, but it was foreign. Very foreign, Very nice people though, the wife spoke really good english with a bit of an american accent. He liked to drink vodka and licorice... now I like vodka nad licorice - but not together... bloody horrible...

I sometimes wonder if that is the stange area of HA, but then realise it cannot be as I am there, also Mr Knowledge - Nordic.

>Martini...

Ah, the power of Aperture....

Apple products can do everything, even upsetting the Catholic church!!

I've just got back into the world of communication after a week away, so was unable to post on here about this one - nice to see the pictures! 

Sadly, even though the RAF rules the skies, Air Traffic are the ones that tell you whether you can play there or not - and clearance for anything like this will always result in a straight-through, single transit flypast - otherwise it plays complete havoc with the civvy traffic in the London zone and on the city airport/Heathrow approaches.

The formation then went on to RAF Halton after London, to provide the flypast for the graduation parade of RAF recruits there.
