Further to this the classic aircraft will gather at RAF Woodvale for an event there before the flypast which will be at 3.20pm over Formby beach.

The Centenary Flypast along the Freshfield/Formby beach at 1515 featured the following aircraft, in order of departure from Woodvale:
G-CGKP, G-CGKT & G-CGKU formation of Grobs
G-BCSL DHC-1 Chipmunk black colours
WK624 (G-BWHI) DHC-1 Chipmunk red/white training colours
FX301 (G-TXAN) T-6G Texan silver with yellow T-bands
G-AJKB Luscumbe 8E Silvaire blue
G-BYFM Jodel DR.1050 white with thin cheat lines
G-FKNH PA-15 Vagabond yellow
G-BSVH J-3c-65 Cub yellow
The Grobs, red & white Chipmunk, Vagabond and Cub all recovered to Woodvale afterwards.
G-DONS PA-28RT Turbo Arrow left a few minutes before 3pm, but did not appear to be connected. At least two other Grobs had been active earlier in the afternoon. I did not see the Merseyside Police EC.135, but it may have been there though.

"I did not see the Merseyside Police EC.135, but it may have been there though."
It was present, but in new stealth/Invisibility mode.
