Of course this is sad news. Might there have been multiple flypasts or events? Was there any RCN/AF aircraft listed? The TBM was then called an "AS3" in RCN parlance for its anti-submarine role. I was told that this flypast was a limited event, with just a few aircraft representing each of the Commonwealth nations. Yet further research talks about a large 600 a/c flypast that was nearly hampered by weather. I have also seen where the Queen visited Oldiham after the June 2 coronation.
