Anyone know the exact flightpath over London? I have to be at Biggin Hill on saturday at 14:00, but it could be worth going early.

I`m sure he doesn`t need reminding - it was a mistake anyone could make.

I was wondering whether poor old Hedders was going to be reminded of this

They were doing a practice run using Waddington as Buckingham Palace.

Are you sure they weren`t using my house as Buckingham Palace? Easy mistake to make - but they did fly directly overhead

I heard the first ones and then watched the last three trios

Just thought I'd bring this one back to the top for anyone that's interested.

Looked like a Dakota flying low over High Hurstwood today, did several passes, and was so low, that in Crowborough we were looking down on it!

Flew over Pinner at about 1308, I missed the first two waves but saw the rest, annoying as I wanted to see the Typhoons

Any pictures/video anywhere yet?
