Fret ye not, there is plenty planned for the ‘proper’ anniversary year. As the weather is not likely to be terribly good on 1 April, the main event is on 10 July - the first day of the Battle of Britain. Together with a special RIAT it should make a decent centrepiece. More events listed at the link, and the whole thing is meant to be wrapped up by early autumn to allow a respectful gap between our celebrations and the marking of 100 years since the Armistice.

As for tonight: there is a Parliamentary reception being held in honour of the RAF; in the middle of a difficult review anything that raises the service’s profile at Westminster must be welcomed!
