If the BBMF need a PDA for the Coronation it’ll be sooner rather than later.

They don't need PDA for flypasts, but presumably they will need to practice formation flying again.

An accurate assessment of the day

Lanc, Hurricane and Spitfire then two Spitfires. A Typhoon lifted off which probably did a display.

Assuming that the Typhoon didn't pass then? BBMF announced on various social media outlets that their PDA was a success, the Typhoon team are usually quick at doing so.....

Believe Typhoon failed in 2015 - no idea why just saw a comment recently on Facebook.

Not sure on the Reds, with them normally doing it over seas info is a bit limited.
