Hmm, I was told none were coming our way but clearly that was wrong. Might not see much with this low cloud.

I'll wager there's 2 hopes of them taking off in this wind, unfortunately.

My thoughts as well.

A shame, because it would have been a brilliant sight and sound.

The cloud and rain will have blown through, but the 20mph wind is sticking around for most of the day.

It's been a tremendous call to put the fly-past back by a couple of hours. The sky is overall blue here now, with some massive white clouds, and looks like holding up for now. The photos from the fly-past should be DRAMATIC.

Anyone know if the two Brighton sections will be flying over the sea/beach front? Doesn't seem to say on the various link pages.
