Not much time to win the lottery then, and buy one

Really is a shame to see them go, though.

What I have read from various forums is that on 9th the remaining GR9s/T12s based at Wittering will fly to Cottesmore.

There will also be 8 Harriers doing a flypast on 9th in a "1" formation.

The 15th (with 14th and 16th being reserve days) will see the 16 ship formation. The flypast is due at 1330. I have see reports that the flypast will also take in Wittering, Wyton and Coningsby as well as Cottesmore.

Worth checking UKAR forum and PPrune for updates nearer the time.
