Flypast

[Doctor Cruces]

Just had an A400 followed by a C17 then A330 and two Typhoons with four Tonkas bringing up the rear in a nice procession right over my house. Must be a flypast practice, anyone know what the occasion is? Heading roughly Lowestoft - marham direction.
TIA

They only do one full timing run, Tomorrow and Thursday were weather reserve days.

The Hawk usually acts as the Whip/weathership, the Reds rarely take part in the practice
