A friend of mine was in the flypast, flying a Meteor F8 from Duxford. He was chosen to receive the special Coronation flypast medal for his squadron (IIRC from his story there was only one allocated per squadron).

There are some famous names in that list, including several WWII and BoB veterans. One can only assume that both Sqn Ldr Duke and Wg Cdr Falk didn't perform their famous 'party pieces' in their respective mounts?

However, having seen Her Majesty's obvious enthusiasm for the special formations of Hawks and Tucanos yesterday, maybe she would have quite enjoyed it?
