The BBMF Dak has a NOTAM up for a flypast at Liverpool tomorrow with a helicopter...the coordinates given have it centred just south of Runcorn I think.

Since I first noticed the Dakota flypast in the BBMF 2012 listing, I've been looking out for an event to match the occasion - and failed to find one, so far!

Anyone know what the event at lunch-time Saturday is, and exactly where??

A quick google on my ipad here in Whitby...

From the Liverpool Echo

"The event – which also coincides with the 70th anniversary of the unit – will be marked by a flypast over the waterfront by a historic Dakota aircraft and Lynx helicopters of 9 Regiment Army Air Corps."
