This might well be from April 1993, the 75th anniversary of the RAF's formation. There was a huge flypast of every type across Central London and on towards Heathrow on a Saturday morning, including about 9 Spitfires/Hurricanes in a line, and the Lancaster brought up the rear. RB was on board it, and the piece which doubtless went out live was shown again later that evening. He did all the commentary beforehand, then got on board and did the piece live from the air.
I still have the photographs of them all passing near the house at the time !
The TV clip may be in here - it seems to be in multiple parts.
