The Victory Parade flypast took place on the 8th June 1946. The plan involved Meteors, Spitfires and Hurricanes and each flight was supposed to be at different heights to allow the faster planes to fly over or under the Lancs. Unfortunately the weather was not co-operative with a very low cloud base which caused all the planes to fly at the same height so the faster fighters went around the outside. 35 Squadron came down The Mall at 1500 feet at a speed of 184 mph in a formation of 307 aircraft!
