Military display at Windsor Castle - 19th May
Discussion
Might pop down for a look!
In honour of Her Majesty The Queen's 60-year reign Armed Forces personnel will parade through Windsor and muster at the castle on Saturday 19 May 2012.
Nearly 2,500 troops from the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force will parade through Windsor in the presence of Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh.
They will then muster in the castle grounds for a unique event before an audience of more than 3,000 Armed Forces personnel, their families, and veterans. An impressive, tri-Service flypast of current and historic aircraft will conclude the celebrations.

Two Temporary Airspace Restrictions or RA(T)s will be in force from 09:30 to 11:30 hours (UTC) and from 09:50 to 11:50 hours (UTC) on 19 May and affect a broad corridor of airspace from the South Coast to west London, corresponding to the route the formation will fly to reach Windsor, and then to the north and northwest of Windsor to facilitate the dispersal of the aircraft. The RA(T) can be viewed and downloaded from this chart
The CAA said the RA(T)s would be necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft involved in the formation as well as that of other airspace users.
The CAA said that specific detailed briefings for the aerodromes directly affected by the RA(T) were taking place. However, the CAA pointed out that procedures affecting the RA(T) would be no different from those put in place for other major flypasts. The MoD will be carrying out practice runs over the west coast of North Wales between 10:00 and 12:00 on 15 and 16 May.
An AIC detailing the co-ordinates of the RA(T) on 19 May and the rehearsals on 15 and 16 May will be published on 19 April on www.ais.org.uk
The CAA urged private pilots based in the South East of England in areas stretching fromDenham to Oxford and from Fairoaks to the English Channel south of Chichester/Goodwood to spend time studying the restrictions well in advance of any planned flights on Saturday 19 May.
