Red Arrows and Virgin Flyby

[_Deano]

The Red Arrows and the Virgin 747 just flew over my house, but the time i went to grab the camera they were out of sight. Anyone know what the flight path is, i'm hoping that they will fly back my way so i can grab a picture of them; i'm checking the widow every minute now

Either Biggin Hill, or they're on their way over the Channel.

I had 2 groups of 5 red arrows Rape it past my house at low level, i think they were heading southeast. This was a couple of days ago, but they were moving so fast and so low they were out of sight pretty quick.

I live in north yorkshire, so ive no idea where they were heading.

The 747 stopped over at the airport that I work at. It had a special paint job for the flypast. The reg ended in FAB and the aircraft was called Lady Penelope . I'll post some pics up tomorrow.

Think it's been in that scheme for a couple of years now, remember seeing at Heathrow a while back with the special tail. The addition is the 25 years logo on the side of the fuselage.

I have a picture of G-VFAB wearing an a silver grey scheme (with the normal Virgin logos) in 2004 with "The power of 4" legend on the side.


Edited to add photo.
