Red Arrows Flypast Today - 18th June 2020

planenut · 18th June 2020, 09:57

The Red Arrows are scheduled to be up today, meaning Thursday 18th June 2020, for a flypast with the Patrouille de France over London for 5p.m. local time, to commemorate the speech of Charles De Gaulle after the D-Day landings, to the French Nation eighty years ago, .

If the weather holds, they will fly over via Kingsclere (1651), Weybridge/Chertsey (1657), Richmond Park (1658), Horse Guards Parade (1700), to the east, over Ilford.

The Patrouille will depart south, the Red Arrows to the north, passing over Dereham (1717) landing at Scampton (1727)

The Red Arrows are currently in France, where they are to perform a similar flypast over Paris.

All aircraft, including support, now on the ground at Brize Norton. If they can take off in the rains that are currently there, then London and East Anglia are fine now.

That’s about the only thing I miss about living up in London, the fly pasts. My flat used to be on the fly past route into London. The only aircraft I see down here are helicopters usually air/sea rescue, occasional air ambulance or the marines practising. Forget the last time I actually saw a vapour trail.

Spectacular flypast

Hope they were 2M apart

I managed to see the flypast from a bridge over the M3 at Shepperton

not my best photography, but saw them between the trees and pylons as they were about a mile south of us.

Very impressive how the red white and blue smoke was co-ordinated.

There will have been no doubt as to what colour each will have had to trail, just need to be sure of triggering the right switch on the call from Red 1:

Smoke on ... go! ... ... ...

VVC-Geeza · 19th June 2020, 15:27

As far as I know the smoke trailing has not been done before jointly with another national display team in formation.

You might be right Mike, I know very little - I'm a poor little northern boy.

Off to watch Porridge on channel 25 ("Yesterday").
