A bit of thread drift here, but GeeRam is referring to the the Queen's Coronation Review at Odiham whereas fetcheveryone asked:
"what flew in the flypast down the Mall at the Coronation?"
GeeRam's figures are right about the Odiham event. Further details here:
The coronation fly-past on 2nd June in front of Buckingham Palace was a different affair entirely. It consisted of 168 fighters (144 R.A.F. Meteors and 24 R.C.A.F. Sabres). In those days Buckinham Palace fly-pasts flew from south to north past the palace, rather than as they do now from east to west down the Mall.
The route was over the Thames Estuary to Canterbury, the feeding-in point for the the various wings. From Canterbury, south to Dungeness, on to Hastings Pier continuing to Bexhill where the formations turned north towards Biggin Hill and then over south London to fly past the front of the palace.
