Anyone else think the Typhoons look more like Gripens?

Nice to see one of the venerable SAR Sea Kings leading the way. Let's hope the sun shines!

Does anyone know the timings and flight plan after it has done the fly past. Was wondering if anything will overfly RAF Halton.

Many thanks.

Nice line up, but I wish they had put that lot up for the VE day flypast over London.

The veterans would have absolutely loved that lot!!!

And there's plenty more where that came from!

Just the Red Arrows at 13.00 - will the cloudbase lift for the second attempt at 17.00?

As the Red Arrows made it over Buck palace at 13.00, can't see another attempt being made this afternoon, Loved to be wrong but would say a flypast (of some sorts) was completed.

Will the F35B be allowed to take part in the future or will it follow the Harrier & be barred due to being able to glide like a brick? :whistle: :whistle:
