Unless you are Bob Hoover.

Well over 50 per cent of the aircraft were made up of training and world war two vintage aircraft and helicopters. A very sad reflection on the present day RAF. With respect I do not think Bob Hoover relevant to the RAF flypast after all the US decided to come in at half-time in WW2!

compton3bravo (#4),

after all the US decided to come in at half-time in WW2!

Not sure about "decided". As I recall, Hitler declared war on the US on 11th December, 1941, to fulfil his obligation under the Tripartite Pact (between the three Axis Powers). Roosevelt was "pitchforked" into War whether he liked it or not..

Churchill recorded that: "he slept the sleep of the saved and thankful".

I was out there, training under the "Arnold" Scheme, at the time, and well remember the shock to the American populace.

Wonder if the RAF used up its entire fuel budget for the remainder of 2018 with that flypast 🤔

" sorry lads, you'll have to walk... We used all the fuel on queenie last month "
