I've just watched the display from The Embankment - thank you all, in the air and on the ground for a top performance. Oh, and a Happy Birthday as well!
(Any chance of a couple of those Typhoons spending an afternoon whizzing up and down the Thames on afterburners? That would be good)

Slight cross-thread here but,
Didn't they do the same thing at Murrayfield a couple of weeks ago?? Anyway it's immaterial as after Independence they won't be able to afford to fly the F3's that they get to keep.
PS., Happy Birthday RAF.

Much to my work colleague's amusement I've just got all excited having seen the formation pass over North Acton / Park Royal.
Best thing in this area EVER...well done!
Now to start making plans for the flypast at Hendon this evening...
Happy Birthday to the RAF and all in light blue.

Happy Birthday to Her Majesty's Flying Club
Lots of people in London turned out to watch the flypast. Quick shot of all the peeps on Waterloo and Charing Cross bridges and the Embankment

BBC Film of the Flypast in London is here:

It's worth cranking the sound right up - I get the feeling the camera crew are not to happy with their own performance (make sure kids are not listening).
Also thanks to the 10 & C17 from Brize that overflew our location, both impressive at low level.

Wonder why that might be....
More bang for your buck

What poor quality film, I'm not surprised the film crew were not happy bunnies.
They went too far west for me to see them in North beds

Funny the last 2 posters mentioned just what I was thinking! No 3 is either Ooober Wide or 2 is too close..... The front page of the Telegraph Today shows the form (Over London anyhow). (Alernatively, blame 4 and parallax errors, thats what a QWI would do)
My guess is a bit of each. Still, Well done fellas, next stop will be more hostile I guess.

You challenge the Trenchard "quote" I used re a 100 year experiment? I got that from a briefing by the then CAS, now CDS, Jock Stirrup. It may be that he was wrong but I'm more prepared at this point to believe him to be correct than I am you. Quite happy to be educated otherwise but I'll need more than "No he didn't"
