high spirits, I consider that the components of the flypast were well constructed and very well flown in less than ideal conditions.

However, I remain of the opinion that the meagre content of the flypast was indeed pathetic. Indicative of the run down state of the operational strength of the UK Armed Forces:

No C17s
No Sentinels
No E-3Ds
No TriStar
2 Tornados
2 C130
1 VC10

As for the BBC commentary, where do they find these people...??
