I think it should be pointed-out for those who might not have read this before, the Dominies (if they do take part) would represent 55 Sqn which of course flew Victors at the time. It's a bit of a "cop-out" using current aircraft from squadrons that took part in Corporate (because of course, they have absolutely no connection with the Falklands), but then I guess it's the only way you can have any sort of "theme" to the flypast unless you confine it to Nimrods and Hercules and helicopters.

Actually, the more you look at the idea, it begs the question as to whether it was even worth bothering. Given that there will be a flypast for Her Maj the day before, you have to wonder why they couldn't have combined the two events and saved an awful lot of money.
