Morning Guys,
This is a request from a mate (Deano) who, like me, is inputting years of logs into his ADU database but, in doing so, is unearthing questions from years gone bye... So on this day Deano noted the following and would welcome any information any one can provide;
VC-10
Tristar
2 Nimrods
The Red Arrows
E3 Awacs
Cheers lads.
Bill

Hi Bill
VC10 XR806; Tristar ZD953 ; Nimrods XV226 & 250; AWACS ZH102; not sure what the Arrows were though. Do I assume he has the rest of the Flypast or was that all he saw?
Dave

I trawled back over 1997's airshow lists including Cottesmore, Duxford, Fairford, Leuchars and Mildenhall.
These shows took place between late May and mid September 97 and the following Hawk frames were used by the Red Arrows during the 97 show season. All "XX"....
227*
233*
237*
252#
253*
260#
264
266
292
294
306*
307#
308#
Of these 13 frames, the asterisked ones were used at all these shows, so therefore, a "reasonable" chance they were included in the Queen's flypast. Some were used at four out of five of these shows, these have hash symbol following the reg.226, 292 &294 were used twice and 264 used just once at Leuchars.
Does that help? maybe not but it gave me something to do for twenty mins....lol

Thanks so much its much appreciated. I saw them going over my house in Chelmsford at the time as they went down the A12/River Thames into London to line up with everything else. So thanks for trawling back for me as I needed the two Nimrods. Thanks again. Dean

Hi Dean, good to see you on here. I appreciate my list won't give you a definitive list of those frames on the flypast but you could try asking on the Fighter Control website, there's a link at the top of our home page here. I'm a member so will happily post on your behalf if required.
