Ah, hadn’t realised there was one. I get to combine the TV view with watching them out of the window as they fly over central London. |  |

I love to see old aircraft fly, but I really wish we would stop banging on about World War I & WWII. However, I'm sure Reform UK voters will think otherwise.

Why do you wish not to remember the World Wars? |  |

So, what time does that mean over Ipswich? The timings given seem very broad given the speed they’ll be flying at? |  |

Is this where you live?

We shouldn't mark the end of the war and peacetime? |  | | |

Wonder if the Red arrows have upped their game and can now do a Union flag rather just than a French flag?
Appreciate we were on the same side, but these things matter. |  |

Point of order dear boy.
It’s a Netherlands flag. |  |

I agree it is a bit vague.
Found on EADT that Red Arrows go over Woodbridge at 1:35pm

Perhaps the wide time frame is because the different types of aircraft are more spread out over Suffolk so they fly past in stages across an hour, before bunching up closer as they get nearer London. Anytime between 12:15 and 1:45 seems to be the estimate I keep finding. |  | | |

Good to honour Muhren and Thijssen in that way. | |

Given the rise of the dictators and authoritarians, including the new threat posed by America and old threat by their friends Russia, there’s every reason to remember the lessons of two world wars that cost so many lives and this country so much to fight it.
Ignore the lessons of history or be ignorant of them as say Trump is and you will inevitably repeat the mistakes..
I’ve made my views on Reform known on this forum and in any case, I fail to see what they have to do with anything. |  | | |

Whether we like it or not, in possibly 50 years time, certainly by 2100, it will just be another page in history. Those who fought will have gone. Those who remember it as children will have gone. The children and probably the grandchildren of that generation will have gone. For those in the 22nd century, both wars will have as much relevance to them as the Napoleonic or Crimean wars have to us.
It is a depressing thought, so we need to commemorate and celebrate those who did experience it whilst we still can. |  | | |

Not sure of the aircraft or flying order, but did just see 2 groups of 3 planes and then the red arrows go over as I was coming out of Aldi on Felixstowe Road. Not sure if any ahead of them, or after, or were the red arrows bringing up the rear? | |

I think the British people are naive, these events are just the military practicing for the coup when they take over the country for the Royal Family to take power again
After all the Tories messed up, labour aren’t doing much better and it may be the only way to stop Farage |  |

Was watching a TikTok live from some guy on the river shore at Freston, and they went right over him.
Had a look on Flight Tracker, and it looks like the rough flight path was Rendlesham-Waldringfield-Warren Heath-Ravenswood-Pipers Vale, so if you were in The Thrasher or coming out of Sainsbury's, you'd have a ringside seat.
Thing is, if you then extended that flight path, it was exactly on the same alignment as The Mall is, 70 odd miles away. Quite incredible. | | | |
