A question for 1435 flt
Queen Mary 2 will be passing the Falklands on 9th Feb in international waters. Fancy paying us a visit?
If so please let me know and I will coordinate.
Thx.

You may rest assured that you will get a visit, but it will not be organised on PPRuNe. They guys at Mare Harbour will be in touch with QM. It will be a great opportunity.
Ops there will certainly have the ship on their plot, Navaleye, and everything that can fly or float will want their picture taken with her. I would imagine there will be plenty of visits, official or otherwise, for as long as she's within range or until they're told to stop. If it were the old Phantom days, the speed rakes would have been loaded with toilet rolls!

Just had lunch with Heinz and Steve. Hoping 1435 flight can put a foot through the door as we go bye. The two QFIs promise not to bite.

QM2 will pass 46 miles west of West Falkand at 0800z. Suggest 1500z visit.

I thought 100ft was the minimum height. OC 1435 flt might have a few agricultural flying words about that. Unless, of course he's in one!

I'd settle for a few pictures... - 111
Yes please, but also keeping an eye on the ship's bridge webcam, although picture currently not that great.
I note that there is very modestly no mention of the nature of the military lectures concerned, and also had to smile when I saw that she would be entering the Beagle (sic!) Channel.

Apologies for jumping the gun - thought the date originally notified was the 8th.
