In 1953 the RAF organised a flypast for the Queen at Odiham to mark her Coronation the previous year.

The formation took 27 minutes to pass the dias and included 26 types and totalled 641 aircraft including 264 Meteors. There was also a static display of another 320 aircraft which she inspected from an open top Landrover.

Our Queen has seen a few changes during her reign.
