Would someone please tell me, and I'm sure there are enough Pruners out there from the various stations that put the aeroplanes in the sky for this, just how much, whole station, effort went into this PR campaign. ALL those aircraft, all those maintenance hours, all that gas, all the sodding deconfliction and hours, nay days, spent planning this sodding thing.

Who gives a toss? The answer is because its the RAF's 90th, HMQ's Official Birthday and because we can. Oh and because that tw@t Brown believes that "every pound spent on Defence is a pound wasted", how he must have been grinding his teeth on Horseguards. I could go on to say because its good training (and if you question this you obviously haven't done it) and good PR. Oh and because its the RAF's 90th, HMQ's birthday and because we still can!!!

Well done to all involved and I think all at RAF Halton Open Day loved the flypast as well.
