Queen's Birthday Flypast

Pathetic. All cancelled because of the weather except the Red Arrows. Surely if somebody can lead a nine ship formation through slight clag then why can't our supa-dupa air force with all the latest gizmos do it? It's not as if they were massive formations, five at the most. I can understand the worry about Spitfires and Hurricanes but Tornadoes and Typhoons? come on.

Are they so tied up with FMS that they can't do it if it cannot be programmed.
