Sadly the flypast was radically slimmed down for reasons of safety and weather, made more painful for my humble self having found a lovely uncrowded spot to view. The choppers veered off directly after BP, but the Red Arrows obliged by keeping a mostly straight path, hurrah!
Quite a bit of VIP/Govt traffic leaving STN in the late afternoon, headed back home, including a Kuwait A340 and a Bahraini RJ85.
