Interesting precedent, although I do wonder just how much our allegedly cash-strapped forces waste on flybys, practice flybys, airborne spares for flybys, squadron reformation flybys, squadron disbandment flybys, pass- out flybys, funeral flybys, re-pat flybys, all-sorts-of-memorial flybys, BBC presenter flybys, annual reception flybys etc etc.
I'm not saying that a handful aren't well worth it - for example a re-pat flypast for relatives, but we do seem to operate to a 'if in doubt, do a flyby' mentality, then next minute claim we haven't got a pot to piss in.
