Trooping the colour flypast has been announced as the cancelled coronation flypast. Has anyone got the make up of the event.

Maybe B-1s will be performing a low-level, high-speed flypast down the Mall instead.

The BBC reported on the lunchtime news that "The Coronation flypast over Buckingham Palace was all but cancelled but this Saturday's Trooping the Colour is a second chance to put on the show." (Jane Hill's words). The BBC's royal reporter was at Brize Norton and said that three C-130Js will participate along with the C-17 that carried the late Queen Elizabeth's body to RAF Northolt last year. There was no confirmation of any other participants. I will be standing in a field, hoping to see 60 or so aircraft!
