Just waiting for BBC points west to follow suit. Title: Re: IET to be named after Tom Moore Post by: infoman on April 30, 2020, 06:45:20 If you want to watch the unveiling of the plaque at Stoke Gifford,its on the Points west site,now.
Please note that BBC local news is only available for TWENTY FOUR hours only. Don't shoot the messenger. Can any one locate IET 800-025 on Thursday 30 april? A flypast will be happening today (Thursday 30 april) to celebrate Toms 100 birthday timed at Thursday evening 20:00hrs. The same time as the NHS clap will be happening. The Spitfire as far as I know is coming from Biggen hill. Sunset is 20:33pm although weather forecast for Bedford area is for rain. Title: Re: IET to be named after Tom Moore Post by: CyclingSid on April 30, 2020, 06:57:08 Surely if it is a Spitfire from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight it will come from RAF Coningsby. I thought they had ruled out the "private" one.
Title: Re: IET to be named after Tom Moore Post by: infoman on April 30, 2020, 07:05:56 Not sure,lets hope the weather is good though.

Correct Title: Re: IET to be named after Tom Moore Post by: bobm on April 30, 2020, 07:59:19 I read, but now cannot find it, that the flight from Biggin Hill would do a local circuit over Kent - having been banned from travelling further.
