We will be ok,they will get all the preserved aircraft out of Museums to be on our front line:(
You never know how much damage an old man on a squeaky bicycle and a cut off broom shouting BANG can do.After all we won the last war [ww2] with the same mentality from the government of the day :confused:

Not London, but I was at Battle of Britain At Home day at RAF Abingdon when the mass formation flew over before splitting up and returning to their bases……..have got photos of most if not all of the individual formations as they came over the Airfield, almost certainley the last BIG mass flypast the RAF will ever be able to do I suspect…..:rolleyes:

Drakens….
Reminds me of when I was at Tirstrup in Denmark in, oh I dunno, about 85-86 time. I was potering around near our Jaguars and this, seemed to be about…16 ship of Drakens flew overhead. Amazing!
Any Danish enthusiasts able to shed any light? I’d love to see a photo of it.
