Red Arrows passed over Metheringham airfield today, presume on their way to Duxford. Not on the direct route so could have been a flypast. Saw them later to the south returning to Scampton.

The Red Arrows followed us up the A158 just outside Lincoln at lunch time lol I did try and tell them it was a 40mph speed limit but they didn't listen ok sorry bad attempt at a joke I know lol

It was a good day at Metheringham yesterday, as well as the Reds giving us the flypast, we had a few interesting guys drop in, including the team who are restoring the Tempest nearby, and (just to make some of the XS186 crew who had literally just left curse!), a Canberra jockey from the Air Atlantique team.
I was pleased as punch to see he was as mad as the rest of us about keeping these old birds alive, an obviously very passionate and knowledgable guy, a decent day at Methy and the weather held too, what's going on!
