Yesterday whilst having a drink outside a pub in The Royal Mile I noticed a helicopter flying up towards the castle I didn't take a photo as I didn't think much of it. Then later on I heard a onlooker say "that plane is very low" I looked and did see this plane flying quite low heading to the castle. It did occur to me that The Edinburgh Tattoo are having a RAF theme so could see more RAF planes flying down. Unfortunately I couldn't really make out what kind of plane it was but took these photos.
Did you know that registration to Civilian Aviation is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Thanks for that. I know some planes but forget some of the names.
Re: RAF Plane In The Royal Mile
Both were planned flypasts over the castle for the Tattoo, the helicopter was an RAF Puma.
More information regarding the other planned flypasts can be found on FighterControl, this is our sister forum that's dedicated to military aviation.
