WW2 Plane Crash Memorial Endcliffe Park 22nd February 2019

Hi

Does anyone know the time of this fly past please? I've searched on the internet but nowhere does it say the time. Plenty about the date and place, and the old man who tends the memorial stone, who the plane crashed to avoid,but no one has ever said the time of the event in Endcliffe Park? It was even on the telly about it. Are we to turn up at the crack of dawn and wait all day?

Hi

ARRIVE IN PLENTY OF TIME, BUT NOT TOO EARLY

The BBC will be broadcasting live from the park from around 6am to 9.15am on the morning of the 22 February. However, there is no need to arrive at this time. People are encouraged to arrive at the park from around 7.15am. A memorial service will take place from around 8am with the flypast set to follow at 8.45am.

Due to the location of the memorial on the other side of the Porter Brook, there will be no immediate access to the memorial area during the BBC filming, from 6am to 9.15am, and access to the memorial and that side of the river may be limited afterwards.
The best viewing area will be in the large field close to the Endcliffe Park café, which will be serving teas and refreshments. A big screen will be there to relay events to the crowd.
