Brought back memories of when I was privileged to carry the standard for 30 Sqn at the 75th anniversary of the RAF and the Red Arrows flew a 75 formation.
The RAF might be the junior Service, but what we do, we do very well!
Let's not forget the ground crew... An incredible effort getting all of those aircraft, plus spares, ready for the flypast.
