Thanks BV-must have been a proud day.


Just seen this from the RAF Facebook page:


Well folks, that didn’t quite turn out as planned!


Sadly most of our aircraft due to take part in today’s Queen’s Birthday ‪#‎Flypast‬ were stood down due to ve...ry poor weather conditions in the holding and egress patterns outside London – the areas where our aircraft join up and then exit the flypast – and on the main route into London itself.


We know many of you were as disappointed as us that the full line-up wasn't able to fly through. It was a tough call; we have an all-weather capability on operations but quite rightly there are stricter rules governing displays over built up areas.


Fortunately the RAF Red Arrows had forward deployed from RAF Scampton to Biggin Hill Airport and were able to complete their part of the flypast; here they are roaring over The British Monarchy's Buckingham Palace to mark HM The Queen’s Official Birthday.
