brinner Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What do folks think about Bolehills? It's a little further up and away from the action compared with lil-minx's link above (great spot btw). I'm hoping, as a few of us are meeting there, that armed with binoculars and a good view to the west and southwest, Bolehills Park will be a decent spot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might head down to Endciliffe park first thing just to see what the crowd is like then head back up the hill for the flypast. Im told the route away will be over Stannington so in theory, a nice seat up on Bolehill should give you a grand view as they depart. Don't forget later in the day, head down to the canal basin for the 200th-anniversary event which should be a cracker as well given the great weather forecast.

byeo Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Brilliant, a great turnout and a moving tribute. Hopefully they'll make the memorial a more prominent display in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could just see today's flight over the tree line of Ecclesall Woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrecordings Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I'm glad I saw it even at a distance, the BBC footage (I've seen so far) didn't catch the F15 victory roll Hopefully you can see this: Edited February 22, 2019 by Unrecordings add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
