As it's our 90th year as well as the Queens birthday I don't think too many in the nation will be complaining about the cost of flying a formation of aircraft over London on a Saturday. In fact, I would go so far as to say if you're British, you may well be celebrating the fact that we can do this at all.
I for one will be justifiably proud as I help launch our aircraft on Saturday; I just hope people will take an interest and watch it live, it’s going to be good.
nunquamparatus not every aeroplane the RAF fly is on Ops every day of the year, some are held back for little things such as training, maintenance and trials work. You may even find that some of the aircrew are
reservists. Some will even gain some usefull training, a few may even find it a nice change from Ops.
