Roymac,

Just ignore all these feckin know all tw@ts on here. Bottom line is that your efforts were appreciated by 67,500 spectators less the few whingers on here and of course Brian Moore. Thank you.

4. The TOT achieved by the formation was 15:20:50, EXACTLY the time requested by the SRU.
Thanks, Roymac. My faith is restored.

Thank the Lord there are people like you, Echo 5, who are around to put us know all twats right (what ever happened to tolerance and respect for the views of others?).

Incidentally, I understand that you are not a know all **** but how do you know that the fly past was appreciated by everyone in the stadium? How many even saw the 3 second spectacle of grey jets flying over against a background of low, grey clouds?

Maufe,

less the few whingers on here
I would assume that you fall into this category then. BTW........ were you actually there ?

As you haven't had the courtesy to fill in your public profile one wonders what qualifies you to criticise the professionalism of these guys who gave up their time to put on a show for Joe Public.

Oh,

How many even saw the 3 second spectacle of grey jets flying over against a background of low, grey clouds?
Saw the jet pipes glowing very nicely thank you.

Thanks for info. Roymac. Echo your comments 'Echo 5'

Well done Tornado crews, air and ground.

I think you will find that it is Joe public who are paying for their time and i am sure that if they worked the weekend they got time for it in the week.

Echo, I absolutely do NOT criticise the professionalism of these guys, I have no qualifications whatsoever to do so. Clearly, as the man said, as one would expect from these extremely competent crews they did arrive EXACTLY at the appointed time.

However, surely even someone as blinkered as you seem to be would have to agree that for whatever reason everyoneone had to stand around getting cold till they arrived and it didn't look good. It would seem to me, as a complete layman, that SOMEONE got the timings wrong.

Sorry, when it did finally happen it was NOT a show, just two Tornadoes flying over and (just) visible for a couple of seconds.

I didn't know that last post was up - BUT I agree and it is time to close the thread. There is actually not much more that can be said that has not been said already.
