 Last RAF Harrier flight - Fenlander
For those interested it's another *end of an era* day today. The last official flying of the Harrier jet. A 16 aircraft diamond formation will fly the following schedule.

Station/Village Timing
RAF Cottesmore 1300 – 1310 hrs – Depart and form diamond
RAF Marham 1318 hrs
RAF Wyton 1322 hrs
RAF Wittering 1326 hrs
Stamford 1327 hrs
RAF Cranwell 1401 hrs
RAF Waddington 1402 hrs
RAF Scampton 1404 hrs
RAF Coningsby 1411 hrs
RAF Cottesmore 1415 hrs
Oakham 1416 hrs
RAF Cottesmore 1420 hrs – Recover and land

Obviously subject to weather/aircraft availability so if this prompts anyone to go to any effort to see them check a reliable source later this morning.

I wonder if Perky Penguin will be about?

I went to Wyton yesterday to see the rehersal run. They were over 1.5hrs late so a long wait in the car... worth it to see the 16 come over in a perfect diamond. Takes me back to an amazing day at Binbrook for the last Lightning display.
