BBMF Flypast

[Dengue_Dude]

Just watched the flypast of BBMF - dog**** weather and difficult for station keeping - well done guys, a real credit.

Certainly looked hard work in nasty conditions. Well done

Spare a thought for the lads at Coningsby who will be up all night drying them off after flying in the rain!

Nice job one and all!

Nicely done and a special thanks to those who flew down through rough weather.

King Airs in the Battle of Britain ? I must have missed that bit in the film, though.

Probably the only things flying that had decent navkit . . .

Did look hard work and with an only-just cloud base.

I think controlling the Amiable Barge was more a handful.

WHBM,

The two King Airs were in the first element with the Dakota.

Element 1: Dakota + 2 King Air
Element 2: Lancaster + 4 Spitfires + Hurricane

Smoke on go

Totally delighted that the Reds drew such an enthusiastic roar of approval from the crowd

Very nice of the UK and the Queen to pay tribute to fine American Built and designed airplanes in the first wave.

Inappropriate in this thread thanks.

I looked at his username and all I saw was "stroker"

As always, an excellent job in less than excellent conditions

Two nice bites there seven Well done.

[Mystic Greg]

Had a great view from a couple of miles west of the Palace. Brilliant flying by all concerned in tricky conditions. Well done, chaps!

I always considered aeroplanes in front as a target! (Unless they were running away).

Does anyone know who was crammed into the Lancaster's cockpit? From the commentary it sounded like at least one senior officer or civilian. The Flt Lt behind the pilot looked as though he had a job to do.

I think this will only be here directly for one day, June 6, otherwise you have to Previous to get back to June 6

Lads worked well at BBMF OH. Dak has just done a lovely "beat-up" (sorry Flypast) at Cranwell today.

Well done to all in the flypast and to the guys lining the procession route. A credit to you all.

Her Majesty was obviously impressed with the BBMF mob - the cameras showed her pointing upwards and saying something along the lines of "That's the sound!".

What a shame though that a few more current types weren't in evidence. Still, I suppose it's a long way back to the Coronation Review of 1953.

The flypast included 640 aircraft.
