9? Not much different to a Graduation then. Thought they might have made it a bit more special than that - unless of course there are other items flying through or taking part in a static display etc - seems to be a bit low key or at least kept well under wraps....

Location : york Spotter Watch Member : no

Seems like everybody expects too much,lintons my airfield,and the RAF has given me much pleasure over the years.
i think this one on the 9th may have more to offer than you expect,remember the 1st may,this was a good grad.

Just like Waddington yesterday we all wanted to see the vulcan fly,but we were all dissapointed it didnt.
Linton might just surprise you,however as you all know the weather and operations stage the show!!

Location : Stockton-on-Tees. North East

any ideas if its gonna be like the grads where theres limited parking or might it be like the friends & familes day where you park on the base?

Location : york Spotter Watch Member : no

outside parking i'm afraid,unless their is alot of people,and i doudt that,this event as been kept quiet as possible.
large aircraft just gone into linton,couldnt quiet make it out,time 17.35

Location : Stockton-on-Tees. North East

will probably get there first thing and sit around all day so atleast i can get parked

Subject: Re: 9th july 2009-07-07, 12:30

What happened to the '31 aircraft' then? I must admit, I'd be interested to know what, if much, has been planned. That said, these days with the RAFs extremely limited display quota is there really much that can expected beyond the usual flypasts of a graduation?

Be interested to know if anyone knows more! Secret

There was a 9 ship flypast over York today. They came over Heslington about 3.30ish. I think it 9 as I just caught them through the cloud. Don't know if it was a practice for the 9th.

Yup. I saw this over York at the same time too. 9 aircraft plus one spare/photochase.

I saw the 9 ship yesterday out of my office window and wondered what it was all about.

I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled tomorrow for them again, thanks for the heads up everyone!

Location : my house Spotter Watch Member : no

Quick stop at Linton this morning found Danish air force CL-604 ser no C-080 sat out on the pan.

Am I right thinking we need to add +1 hour to the UTC times in the Notam - therefore start time is 14:35 local time ?

I believe so since we're in BST (UTC/GMT+1) at the moment.

There are currently NOTAMS out for The Reds, the Tucano 9 ship and historic miltary aircraft on Thursday afternoon.
Memo to self - not a good place to be in my Cessna 150!

For info for anyone coming to Linton today for this event who hasn't yet set off yet we have just been moved (8.00am local) from the Viewing/spotting area at Linton and it has now been fenced off to stop anyone parking there. When asked why we had to move was told the area was being kept clear for emergency vehicles.

Subject: Re: 9th july 2009-07-09, 01:25

That should make for some nice congestion in the area, what a disappointing attitude.

Location : Stockton-on-Tees. North East

so do you just park on the road?

Location : Cleveland Spotter Watch Member : No

Latest update at Linton, the police have now coned of the road from the village past the 03 threshold to the far side of the base. They are also stopping anyone from standing on the fence line along the main road Shock

There have been no base movements yet and the only arrival has been a Barkston Firefly.
At present there are approx 15 Tucanoi's on the line, one JP and one Tiger moth.

Sounds to me like we need to approach from the other side, or walk from the village

wow there not been very helpful are they, surely raf police at linton would know theres gonna be a bit more than average traffic around the area and would open the gates to let people park on the base and ease the traffic abit

Church Fenton active with various arrivals - sounds like a holding point for Linton.
Not sure of the types arriving, but mention of parking near all the JP's
