I'm off down there tomorrow, so i'll let you no matey ;)

Location : Lincolnshire

The reds certainly flew today as I could see them trundle down the runway after lunchtime. I'm not sure how often they flew as this was the only time that I saw them. They were all parked up on Delta when I headed home at 1630. There was also an E3F visiting today and I think it departed to Boscombe.

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the red will use delta as their pan?, if this is the case it could reduce the number of visitors unless they resort back to using bravo and charlie?

Spent 4 hours down here today. The syncro pair went up twice, as did the rest of the formation. I left at 1300, so there was still time for them to go up again. Also had a Harrier over shoot, sentinal go up and 2 AWCS go up, with one returning. So by Waddo's standards fairly busy ;) Laughing

Reds flew 6 sorties today, 2 with synchro pair only, 1 Synchro + 1, 2 with seven and 1 with 5. I was at Waddington until the 1st seven recovered then went over to Scampton to see them practicing. Some great opps with them against the low sun.
