Any ideas what was taking place at RAF Henlow on Saturday?. My assumption is that there was some UAS event/re-union. Early in the day 3 Grob Tutors arrived in formation and landed, then a Chipmink, Tiger Moth, Harvard and Yak 52 arrived and landed. Throughout the day various formations of these types flew, using I suspect the Yak as the photoship. Looking at the historic trainers, all these types were used by UAS over the past 60 years or so hence my assuptions.

It was a commemorative formation for ULAS. The Yak 52 was a camera ship.

I have a vague recollection that it was an AEF Fly-in, I will have a check around
