Hang on a minute ... I think I was on that one! Flew in a 4-ship of C130s from Lyneham to Wattisham where they desperately tried to get the 4th one into the flypast, but 'no go'. Launch from Wattisham into the hold area to join-up with everything else, but the vis was not good enough, so went to 'plan B' (which didn't involve the C130s, booo!), so the C130s returned home. The only fixed-wings which made it into London were a TriStar and two Nimrods. Happy days. Despite all the bouncing around at low-ish level the only person who was sick was the RAF PRO guy!
