Forgive me, I'm still mystified. Why did the Royal Wedding only warrant a modest prohibited zone, when Westminster Abbey was stuffed to the rafters with just about every world leader, yet we now need apparently need flight plans, Typhoons and all sorts of other stuff to protect a bunch of people running around a race track?
I don't blame the RAF. Fine chaps and chapesses and a wonderful ATC service when you ask for it. They've kept their stiff upper lip as most of their aircraft have been taken away. An as for the Navy, those poor souls have got to think up a name for a new type of ship. You obviously can't call it an aircraft carrier if it hasn't got any aircraft on it (answers on a postcard). I can't help thinking of the Monty Python Black knight when I see all this happening.
