Queen Elizabeth II last flight tomorrow.
Paxing All Over The World
This question will have been decided a long time ago. From Northolt to Buck House: long slow cortege in the early evening or a quick hop by whirlybird?
Going to be nearly dark though by then though.

if you visit central London you will find thousands are being disrupted by the many thousands more trying to pay their respects. Green Park is now a sea of flowers and people are still coming. Only a select few are complaining.
From the EDI website:
The airspace around Edinburgh Airport will close temporarily on Tuesday afternoon however the airport remains open and operational. We would remind passengers they should check with their airline for any updates to flights.

KRF01R is due to depart EDI at 18.35 local and arrive at NHT 19.40 local……times on FR24 are UTC, not local times.
My assumption is that The Queen will travel back on KRF70R as this is due into NHT around 19.50-55 local which ties in with the schedules broadcast on TV etc,etc. Also I believe the callsign of KRF70Ris significant as it seems to signify 70 years reign!

I think you'll find that Edinburgh airport is also RAF Turnhouse, As Belfast International Airport was until recently, also known as RAF Aldergrove. I think Government and Royal exigencies trump a flight to Shagalouf

The C-17 carrying the Queen is now due to depart Edinburgh at 18:00 local, with the second, also going to Northolt departing at 19:15. It has been reported that 96 gunners of the Queen's Colour Squadron will form a Royal guard of honour at Edinburgh.

Closed 25 years ago, in fact, though the hangar survived for quite a bit longer. Used to have a lovely (real, not plastic) Spitfire gate guardian, now in the RAFM Hendon collection.
