hi,
following details of the practice and coronation flypast,
Details for the Red Arrow fly over at King Charles's coronation on May 6 have started to emerge as well as the dates people can expect to see the planes rehearsing. The Coronation of King Charles and the Queen Consort will take place on Saturday, May 6 at Westminster Abbey.
This will be followed by a procession to Buckingham Palace where they will be joined on the famous palace balcony by other members of the royal family. It is here that they conclude the ceremonial events and watch the famous flyover by an assortment of aircraft.
The six-minute flypast will include the Red Arrows, 16 helicopters, the historic Spitfires of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the RAF's brand-new P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, Joint RAF and RN crewed state-of-the art F-35B Lightning II jets and transport aircraft from the RAF's Air Mobility Force. It will also feature the first flypast involvement of the RAF's new Envoy IV CC1 aircraft.
Over 60 military aircraft will take part in the flypast to mark the King's Coronation. It will cause restrictions to be imposed on airspace in the vicinity of the North Sea, East Anglia, Essex, and London. The planes will continue to travel eventually dispersing over Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
In order to make sure the flyover goes smoothly, there are rehearsals planned between April 25 and 27. These are set to take place over areas of The Wash, The North Sea and Southwold, Suffolk and Southend.
The aircraft will disperse over North Lincolnshire and parts of Yorkshire.
There is a series of charts that show the exact timings and locations that airspace is set to be restricted giving an indication of the exact route which will be fully announced in due course.
Londoners can expect to see the planes fly over North, South, East and West London between 2:20 and 3pm.
regards,
