[QUOTE=Thomas coupling;10022492]The formation comment made me laugh. It did look like a row of stragglers to be honest!
But - why did they bother? How much did that cost and how much time was wasted preparing for it.
The public couldn't give two hoots about final flyby's could they?
There were 30-40 press at Odiham and people outside, the carpark at Middle Wallop was full at 0900, people all round the circuit were asking about timings on Twitter, I know people went to Duxford for it, and in London there were people who went up both the Shard and the Walkie Talkie to see these "flyby's" (sic), and no, they weren't all "spotters". In some quite high winds they made it around a big circuit, arriving on time in London and landing at Odiham in a hailstorm, so I would hardly call it shabby or uneccessary.
