Reds 1330 06 Sept - private display nr Pangbourne
Any idea who is the beneficiary of the Reds display at 51 30' 08"N, 001 09' 04"W at 1330 on Thurs 6th?
Might wander down with my lunchtime sarnies. I assume just because it's private doesn't mean I can't look as well

I suspect that the event may be the charity clay pigeon shoot at the Royal Berkshire Shooting School, held in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The Reds have displayed there before for the same event.

I'm not to far away, so may take advantage of a "working at home" day tomorrow to go for a look 
When I first saw this, I wondered if it was at Pangbourne College, but that theory has been disproved above.

Red Arrows At Pangbourne 6/9
I fly off a private strip at Pangbourne. Have just telephoned Wycombe Airpark, Blackbushe,White Waltham, and Farnborough Tower. None were aware of the Reds TRA and Notam for above Display. Not many people seem to check Notams, no wonder so many Display area infringments this year.
In their defence I suppose one would not expect a Red Arrows Display in the middle of an agricultural area, as this private Display is.

I read it on http://www.flyontrack.co.uk/2007restrictions.pdf - and was curious as I live <5 miles away, so found out more. It was first on that page about a month ago, though I think it may have been updated since. I didn't find the times until I saw them on the Reds' page.
Just curious, but what benefit will the RAF will accrue from a display at this particular private event? It can't be exposure nor publicity, is it pecuniary or personal?
