single engine over London
It's all elfansafety innit!!
I recall an aged spec aircrew sqn ldr who once worked for me telling tales of the
Coronation flypast (600+ aircraft?) in which he partook in a Meatbox.
Biggest problem he related were the Sabres (IIRC) who had many flameout problems ......
....... on more than one occasion they heard on the formation freq:
"Mayday - Sabre c/s flameout, leaving the formation"
to be fairly swiftly followed by:
"Sabre c/s cancel Mayday - successful relight, rejoining formation!"
.... an yer tell that to't young folk of terday.......
But they probably had
Richard Dimbleby doing the commentary..
Sorry for the thread drift
