Jubilee Flypast Stansted
To the nine gentlemen of the light blue persuasion who livened our day at STN today at 1320 local, a very big thank you.
Walking back to the office with my crew we were suddenly aware of an unusual noise, nine Hawks turning a beautiful smoke-on loop right over the runway. As the girls gasped in amazement (they're not airshow enthusiasts, most of 'em) the Sparrows broke for a stream landing passing right overhead. Most of the crew had never seen anything like that in our regulated procedural environment.
What style, what panache. Bloody wonderful.

Was fortunate enough to see the whole flypast whilst traveling back home after a days work at EGSS. Wondered what all the cars and folks by side of road were looking in the sky for. Then I realised, stopped at witnessed a great treat. Concorde still has a great deal of magic about it and I too saw the wonderful arrival of the Red Arrows earlier in the afternoon.
