They graced Lincoln with their display practice, ready for the big Coronation flypast
Lincolnshire’s incredible RAF heritage will be on display for the world to see this weekend, as aircraft from our county lead the way in the historic flypast for the Coronation of King Charles III.
Front and centre of this flypast will be Lincolnshire’s finest examples of aircraft – from the historic Spitfires of RAF Coningsby’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight team, to the instantly recognisable Red Arrows of RAF Waddington. 68 aircraft will be flying over London for the flypast, including a full cohort of the Red Arrows, based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
Joint RAF and Navy crewed F-35B Lightning jets will join the RAF’s P-8A Poseidon, along with transport aircraft from the Air Mobility Force, and the new Envoy IV CC1 at the event. Lincolnshire is not included on the route, but if you have had your eyes to the sky recently you will have seen the Reds practising for the big day above our county.It is expected that all jets will fly over Buckingham Palace at 2.30pm after the coronation ceremony, as well as the return procession from Westminster Abbey.
Zone A, which is the North Sea and Norfolk Coast, has restrictions in place between 1.15pm and 3pm, with all but Zones D and E – Essex and London – having these restrictions until 3pm.
