Why,oh why, was Sky commentator, obviously ex-mil, banging on about the Lancaster in the flypast? Anyone else see a Lancaster??

I'm waiting to see the fly past before I can comment. I did see a few stragglers that would be less than a third world Air Force could muster, but nothing that looked like the Royal Air Force in all its glory.
Well spread out so it looked like there were more than were actually there - Wander00
Which could apply both to the aircraft in the flypast and the members of the Royal Family on the balcony....

I feel sorry for HMQ, who has seen the skies filled with her Air Force in the past.
Yup, more Royals than aircraft. Bloody AWFUL

To cheer everyone up, here's how the French do it - every year. As a resident, I have to say the whole show (not just the air bit) is pretty impressive.
Sorry about all the commentary - it's from the mixing desk so probably best turned down

For me ... the funniest part of proceedings was when the Parade Commanders horse decided he wanted to do something other than briefed ... Her Majesty seemed mightily amused

26 years ago
I can remember being lucky enough to be in London 26 years ago for the Battle of Britain 50th anniversary fly past which would make anything look minor in comparison. Does anyone have any Info on types and numbers from then they could let me have?

Strake - nice video - thanks, but when did Patrouille de France go to 9 aircraft - previously when I have seen them at displays they have flown 8.
Roly - probably because he has never I believe been promoted above the rank he served in, and big bro is an AF. Don't believe he is Colonel of anything, but if we still had the ACC..........................
