Red Arrows

I've heard that the Red Arrows fly past Buckingham Palace at 3pm today and will pass over Brentford before or after. Is anyone able to confirm the flypast and time as it seems likely we could be able to see it over Chiswick?

I've read that the flypast is at 10 this morning.' According to an air traffic alert that’s just been posted, there will be a flypast over London just after 10am.'The full NOTAM alert reads (times are in GMT, so add an hour)EGTT/QWVLW/IV/M/W/000/030/5223N00021W065FORMATION TRANSIT BY RED ARROWS ACFT ROUTING:531828N 0003303W SCAMPTON AD        0837531347N 0002443W E OF LINCOLN      0839531150N 0002008E INGOLDMELLS        0843531623N 0003325E OVERSEA            0845 530615N 0004501E OVERSEA            0847 530054N 0003156E OVERSEA            0849 524521N 0004940E E OF TITTLESHALL  0852 522553N 0005826E E OF THETFORD      0855 521214N 0011510E W OF BRANDESTON    0858 513427N 0002657E VCY OF BASILDON    0906 513132N 0000310E EAST HAM          0909 513015N 0000738W WESTMINSTER        0910 512620N 0003353W EGHAM              0913512531N 0003911W E OF BRACKNELL    0913 515734N 0005129W NE OF WINSLOW      0918521521N 0005726W VCY OF NORTHAMPTON 0922530825N 0004608W COLLINGHAM        0930 531828N 0003303W SCAMPTON AD        0933 FORMATION PLANS TO TRANSIT AT 250-2000FT AGL.

Agreed Ben.Flying west over Chiswick shortly after 10:10 this morning.

Steven Trembath ● 2372d

Did it happen anyone see it

Gill Hutchison ● 2372d

They should fly over about ten past ten Gill.

Ben Gemmingen ● 2372d

Thanks guys for the correction, I've just looked again at the page I saw and it says 10.10, I don't know where I got 3pm from.

Bob Guyett ● 2372d

3pm is when it's on the telly . One website says 09:13 am so must be 10:10am

Gill Hutchison ● 2372d

We will definatley hear them when they do fly past

Gill Hutchison ● 2372d

09:13 is GMT. Add an hour for British Summer Time. They are due over the Palace at ten past flying up the Mall from the east, and will fly west over Chiswick back to their base thereafter.

Steven Trembath ● 2372d

They just flew overhead!

Pippa Meldrum ● 2372d

Pretty much in line with heathrow landings so good if you were on the river for a view

Julian Pavey ● 2372d

Just seen them and glad to see they were socially distanced

Michael David Rowe ● 2372d

Amazing sight and sound!

Pippa Meldrum ● 2372d

Was lying in the garden - gave me goosebumps !

Madeleine Hazard ● 2372d

Great view from our back garden, thanks again for correcting the time I gave earlier.

Bob Guyett ● 2372d

I heard them bit it was too cloudy to see them. Still gave me goosebumps! 👍🙏

Georgina Flint ● 2372d

Thanks for the tip! Made it up to the bridge over the A40 and had a fantastic view of them!

Apple Leiper ● 2372d

I was by the river and got a great view. They were almost directly overhead. What height were they flying at please?

James Petri ● 2372d

They are doing a circuit of Lincoln. Lucky them.

James Petri ● 2372d

"What height were they flying at please?"Approx 800 feet over W4, according to FlightRadar24.

Ken Munn ● 2372d

Thanks Ken

James Petri ● 2372d

I'm not confident this will work...

The grey arrows

Julian Pavey ● 2371d

Wow, thank you Julian for sharing.

Lucy Brennan ● 2371d

Fabulous! I saw them, just, but didn’t have my glasses on. I assumed it wasn’t BA coming into Heathrow! May I share your film, Gordon?

Sarah Barker ● 2371d

Of course, Sarah.

Gordon McDonald ● 2371d

Thankyou Gordon!
