Operation London Bridge

In tribute to the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, a low level flypast will be conducted from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace.

All pilots will join the Red side and fly as RAF.  Ground spawns and one air spawn are at the Isle of Wight.

A slow flight of Sunderland flying boats will have their path shown on the map, from the Isle of Wight to Windsor Castle, then on to Buckingham Palace.

Plane set:

Bf 109 E-4
Bf 110 C-4/B
Blenheim IVF
G.50
He 111 P-2
Hurricane l (Rotol 100oct)
Ju 88 A-1
Spitfire la (100oct)

There are four spawn points:

1) RAF Ryde
2) RAF Bembridge
3) RAF Sandown
4) Airspawn just east of Sandown

To guide us to Buckingham Palace the Sunderland flying boats will be spawning in at the southern tip of the Isle of Wight and flying over the three airfields. Their airspeed will be 310 kmh (193 mph) IAS and they will be flying at 500 m ASL.

It is hoped that individual squads will coordinate with each other to present an orderly procession for the segment from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace. For those aircraft equipped with radio compasses, there are two long range radio beacons located as follows: 

306khz - Windsor Castle
309khz - Buckingham Palace

Once you have completed the flypast, you may follow the Sunderlands east along the Thames River to the Channel and continue to your chosen airfield in England or France. Alternatively, you may circle back to Windsor, re-enter the flypast stream, and repeat the flypast over Buckingham Palace once again.

Thanks to everyone for participating!

God Bless Her Majesty The Queen; Long Live His Majesty The King

great to fly it, totally unrepeatable on other sims, nice to see so many giving their time up for it (especially those flying before breakfast even) but which sadist picked 130mph for the lead Sunderlands.
