Definately for real as I don't think they'd issue NOTAMs as a joke. 90th Anniversary of the RAF.

Hoping the BBC will cover this fly past as I dont live in the metropolis

Yup I just quickly checked when the RAF was formed. Cheers!

Went to the RAF Museum on Friday. There wasn't a single poster or notice indicating the RAF's 90th Anniversary anywhere in the museum - amazing.

Does anyone know the exact route from Northolt via Halton to Wittering? Just wondering if either I (in Kings Langley) or the missus (in Leighton Buzzard) will see anything.

[Eric Mc]

Slightly more to it than that, I think.

I'm 25 mins from Wittering. Hoping they'll take the A1 route.

What is incredible is that only two years later we used them to bomb the middle east! We have been bombing them on and off for nearly 100 years now!

Day off today. Since the weather's nice and I live in Aylesbury, seems silly not to go towards Halton. Local paper says that the formation will fly in over Wendover and then travel NE from there.

[Le TVR]

Route says 'over Tower Bridge'

Remember Al and the 50th.....

You know you all want to

[E36GUY]

Brilliant. Thanks for the heads up. I'm righton the Thames at the Millennium Bridge so shall pop out!

[Tony*T3]

Surprised it isnt being shown on the tele. No sign of it.

I wonder when they're flying over Canary Wharf - I'll have a lovely view from my desk...
