Okay, cool, but the video you have provided is nearly a year old.

Yes Matey - "same old" excellence and overall skill levels unsurpassed anywhere in the world of formation aerobatics.
Don't watch it if you so choose but we could do without your stupid comments……...

Thank you for that response to what I considered a reasonable and genuine question.

Think Arfur might have just got in from Happy Hour at that point!

Just annoyed at the tone of MPNs "reasonable question".
"Same old, same old" implies "boring" to me and I would never accept that any programme featuring the RAFAT would be boring.
Didn't mean to be impolite but I do think the question was quite loaded.
Merry Xmas!

Fair enough, Arfur ... moving on!

The Whoopee reactions from our cousins should be good, now I know the plot. And just getting RAFAT ‘over there’ is going to be an interesting mission. I do like the ‘inside story’ aspects ... I’ve seen the displays often enough, if you will forgive me. Impressive undoubtedly, and the annual tweaks are often good. But as the years go by ...

Tonight’s episode on Channel 5 has been pulled in lieu of an interview with Markle’s father.

I shall revert ro Kindle, and the Franco-Prussian War by Helmut von Moltke.

Why do they give him airtime? Is it any wonder that Harry & Megan want to leave the country?

If you want to catch the third episode, be aware that next weeks slot is still scheduled to show episode 4. The displaced episode 3 - which wasn't picked up by the series link function on my Sky box, is currently scheduled to be shown on Tuesday 28th at 3:10 am presumably to make it more realistic in USA time.

Not on my Virgin box it doesn't, it shows Ep3 next week...

And Channel 5's own TV guide shows Ep3 next Wednesday too...

My Sky TV guide says both E3 and E4, on Wednesday. 😲
I’m guessing E3 will happen!

At the risk of being accused of heresy, the best flying so far was by the Blue Angels.....

Thanks for the YT links!

Throughly enjoyed the series, which showed some of the complications and complexities of running such an exercise [operation?].
