Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I hope anyone affected is aware of some fairly major restrictions on flying during the Coronation and its preparation. Some of the North Midlands and most of East Anglia seems to be affected as well as London. 25 - 27 April https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/export/sites/default/en/Publications/Aeronautical-Information-Circulars-AICs/white-aics/EG_Circ_2023_M_021_en.pdf 6 May https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/export/sites/default/en/Publications/Aeronautical-Information-Circulars-AICs/white-aics/EG_Circ_2023_M_024_en.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 The links we’re working earlier but I did have intermittent trouble getting to them - I suspect problems at the CAA end. Perhaps try later? Here are maps from the links: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yes, we’re in Zone C for the rehearsals and B for the actual day. Good times to be out with the big lens on the camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) I found the info here much easier to use. We are Zone C on the day but not affected by the practice. Binoculars at the ready on the day🙂 Edited April 19, 2023 by Andy Gates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 So that'll be a bunch of helicopters, some transports, half a dozen F-35s, some Typhoons, the BBMF, finishing up with the Red Arrows. Very different than the last Coronation fly-past, which 300 aircraft in static display and 600 in the flypast itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 At 13, I found the last coronation terminally boring (but my dad sold a lot of TV receivers so it helped me financially though indirectly). I don't think this one will be any more entertaining. I will endeavour to ignore it as far as possible. I'm not keen on ceremony - even my own wedding (but my wife's great 👍) It doesn't look as though flying will be restricted in Derbyshire, hopefully.

GrumpyGnome Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'd happily be out flying - no restrictions on East Riding Of Yorkshire coast............ but my wife is working so I'll be on dog-sitting duties. In advance, I'll need to delete stuff from the BT box so I can record it for her. Full day of pottering/flying on Sunday while she watches it!

Just don't let Special Branch pick up on your latest, regarding clay pigeon shooting, correx RC models with hardened radio gear and explosives under their wings, or you might find yourself flying next to the two Apaches that won't be taking part in the flypast 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 The links are to the official site, Jon. The other ones are excellent resolution and appear accurate but I would recommend basing any flight decision on the CAA published information.

kc Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The route shown on those maps seems much the same as previous flypasts for the Trooping of the Colour, Jubilee etc. In the past they have flown in assembled formation along the line of the railway line and A12 road from Chelmsford towards central London. Some years two hundred yards or so south of the A12, other years two hundred yards north of that road and the adjacent railway, it seems to vary but always following the same A12 route but never actually over the road. Very close indeed to my present clubs field and previous clubs 2 fields in past years. Very low altitude usually which meant the trees got in the way and it was difficult to spot them until they were very close! Great sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good practice for the RAF, RN and Army. Coordination of a large mixed formation, navigation, time keeping, dealing with unforeseen issues - all good training. Plus, the Monarch is the boss of the Armed Forces. We fight for King and country not a PM! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 A great excuse to spend a day in the garden, garage or workshop. Not in the least bit interested in that crowd parading about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
