Private flypast?

I have posted this subject in 'Questions' but mention it here as it may increase the chances of a response, not sure how to insert a link to the post but please take a moment to view my question regarding 'Organising a private flypast'.

Many thanks

Just to save others the traipse to the other thread, here is a shortcut:

Shortcut to Details.

Can't help personally, but sounds like Marham's the best bet I would guess, or possibly a Navex/ME sortie out of Cranwell?

You might help your chances by including the exact Lat/Long and time of the 'event'.

Also try the SAR Flight at Wattisham who do a fair bit of training over Norfolk.

Number under Wattisham Airfield or Army (I think).

Best of Luck

I have placed an enquiry with a charter operator (air atlantique), however any other suggestions would be very welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to provide those links. Via the OFMC I was recommended to another operator (Propshop Ltd at duxford) with whom I have booked a Spitfire of all things.

Anyway, Dad would be very amused by that.

Regards & Thanks once again.

It was done recently in wild west wales for a chap who had been a lynchpin in RAF / NFU relations.
As he was lowered into the grave a lone Herc flew over at very low level and did a steep climb out.............

Tears in my eyes as I type this....

It did the biz..

Well I too have had a few tears in my eyes this last couple of days, with more to come later this week i expect, but sorting this has certainly put a smile on my face.
