Details of military aircraft fly pasts over London during 2012 are starting to emerge, and I have the basic details from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight below.

Rather a lot of tbas in there at the moment, but the page will be updated closer to the dates when times are confirmed, and naturally added to the events calendar. I shall endeavour to get flight paths were possible, but sometimes that just proves frustratingly difficult.

No sign of the Red Arrows agenda yet – will add to the table if they are flying over London. I presume something will be arranged for the Olympics.

FYI – Hendon in the flypasts is almost always the RAF Museum, which is worth a visit if you haven’t been before.

In addition to the fighter planes, there is usually a chance to get up close and personal with a Chinook helicopter at the annual open evening at the HAC near Old Street.

You can also ask for your own flypast, if you are a suitably worthy sort of organisation – details here.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

Thank you
