Royal Wedding Flypast
 

UK details plans for Royal Wedding flypast

Hmmm....won't take long with only the B-of-B, x2 Typhoon and x2 Tornado....why no 'Dead Sparrows' eh?

Apparently there's so little left in the crab inventory that on the day Her Maj is planning to report a missing climber, just SE of Snowdon (approx 250 miles) IOT get at least one fly past!:E

I'm sure one of them UAV dullard things would really get the excitement flowing.

Wot, no Seaking SAR - or is that the going-away (getaway) vehicle?

Since when has the Eurofighter Typhoon been a "strike aircraft"?

Since it gained a ground attack capability?

Need we any further evidence for what has become of our once-great Royal Air Force?

How utterly depressing.

Where's all the ISTAR, TACAT and SH then?

Why do you whingeing blighters always go for the down side? Perhaps the decision was that, as he is only a princeling (for the moment), they should minimise the use of jet fuel and inconvenience to the crabs on duty. Seems logical and appropriate to me. It's not intended to be the crab equivalent of a Spithead review.

Jumping Jack,

"Strike" refers to nuclear!

I really couldn't care less about the royal wedding & not wasting money on a fly past seems to be appropriate given the UK's current austerity measures. So they could get wed in a registry office and people could chuck paper 'planes f' me.

Latest on Defence news details which units of HM Forces will be contributing to the wedding; 26 R.A.F. Stations in all, including; Cottesmore, Kinloss and Lyneham.:confused:

FB:)

So the royal wedding doesn't get the Reds, yet the next IOT graduation does? Bizarre.

I suggest that the output of a complete RAF IOT course is more worthy of a RAF flypast than the wedding of a man who may one day be our King, but probably not until his father has died.

Is the IOT Graduation getting a fly-past or a display BTW?

Did, doesn't.

Ceremonial duties trump operational again, eh?

Are the Troops being issued Cake as their rations on Wedding Day?

And now according to todays Daily Torygraph the services will have the great honour of lining the route from Westminister to Buck House.! What joy and a honour. Thank you sir. And of course General Dave Richards will be standing on the pavement with the rest of his men?

What a load of miserable wazzers have posted on this thread. By the way, the Reds are in Cyprus during the wedding, working up to their PDA.

Look on the bright side - it's a Friday (OK, I know it's a BH).

What a lovely thought on your special day.....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
