RE: QUEENS AMAZING FLYPAST!!!
ITN News didn’t show the VC10 and x, the Royal Squadron stuff and the Typhoon at all. BBC did at least show some of the above which was nice.

Rabie,
The Royal Navy may indeed be the ‘senior service’, but I don’t think they’ve worked out a way to get an aircraft carrier and a couple of destroyers up the Mall!

RE: QUEENS AMAZING FLYPAST!!!
Agree about the camerawork.
2 seconds of the Typhoon, 5 seconds of the underneath of a BAE 146 and missed the BAE 125 completely.

RE: QUEENS AMAZING FLYPAST!!!
yeah and yellowy gold wasn’t it??? -the smoke
the flypast was fantastic, would have been better if they were jsut above the heads of the crowd though!!! 🙂
concorde ascended quickly after the flypast didn’t it, leaving the red arrows down below!!

RE: QUEENS AMAZING FLYPAST!!!
It was amazing.
Must be one of the best aerial sights I can remember – Concorde leading the red arrows, which were trailing red, white and blue smoke.
