The Wedding Flypast
The Telegraph is reporting that the Wedding Flypast will be a grand total of 7 aircraft, 3 of which will be BBMF. It's a sad day when this is all we can muster.
|
Maybe the rest of the pilots (those not away on ops or on QRA) will be at the wedding.
If this really was "Just a wedding" there would be an extra pair of rotary pilots available. |
The rest are busy doing what they are supposed to do. |
It's a sad day when this is all we can muster |
Has Prince William personally excluded Tony Bliar from the Royal Wedding?
Well, it would seem that here's one person who will have to watch the event on TV:

I'm mightily impressed with the calibre of Grumpy Old Men on here.
Some complain that a pilot (Royal or not) has a day off at his own wedding, or his brother's, or a squadron mate's. Then some whinge that the Royal is only a Flt Lt, others will soon whinge about the cost of the BBMF. Then some are complaining that not EVERYONE is out sweating in the desert (or dare I say hotels in the Med). Allah be praised that some of you have left the military... Next thing you'll be crying that you've only got one day off, or that the 3D television coverage don't work on your old Black and White Tube Machine, or that you weren't invited. Give the guy (and lucky gal) a break. |
Oh stop moaning.
Anyway I am looking forward to a nice quite day without the nagger. Last time I managed to day-return to Cherbourg and back in time to splice the mainbrace. This time I will have to make do with a beer in the garden shed. |
Wot no Sea King !!
|
Actually I meant, give the lucky GUY a break :E
|
So easy, bait the hook, cast, catch, haul in :)

Seaking has the cans tied on ready for use as the "going away" cab!!

Couldn't the flypast be outsourced to some other organisation with fewer current commitments.
Like the Japs, Chinks or Ruskies. |

Is it just my eyesight, or does Para 4 have the heading "FATS jet formation"?
Spoilt the whole thing |
For the Grumpy old PPruners
I posted this on the other Royal Wedding Flypast thread about 3 weeks ago:

Couldn't the flypast be outsourced to some other organisation with fewer current commitments Are the Reds planning a last-minute sneaky crowd-pleasing appearance (like when we won the Olympics), or haven't they got their display authority yet? |
Not if the 'Hawks grounded' thread has any truth in it!!

Near the middle of page 8 the ditribution list includes Western Radar.
Ah, that takes me back, maybe, just maybe in this shrinking airforce, all of old units will make a comeback. |
