According to Sky News the flypast consists of BBMF (Lanc,Hurri,Spit) and 2 each Typhoon and Tornado apparently with the jets in “Windsor Formation!”T.o.t. Buck Palace 13.30 and 30secs.
Lets face it chaps any no-fly zone would have to be done with our allies assistance we can simply no longer do it alone.The radar and sam sites need taking out first and we havent enough resources to do this ourselves.Then Typhoon can safely set up the policing of the zone.With the announcement today that 2 more Tornado Squadrons are to disband we had better move quickly or all we could have left to rely on will be the Memorial Flight and maybe the Vulcan Trust are on standby!
Another kit worth considering is the GWS Tiger Moth 400.Its a very slow flying and stable electric artf and fairly scale like in appearance.As long as you build light its a very forgiving flyer.
I recall the captain that was hit being interviewed after receiving his award,when asked “when you were hit what went through your mind?”he quipped “a bullet”
I had a very pleasant weeks Atc annual camp at Coningsby during the 70’s working with 41sqn on the FGR2.Great memories and good luck with your venture Bac 1-11.
For me its Dave Allen,Bob Monkhouse,Jasper Carrott and more recently Jack Dee and Lee Evans away from standup Ronnie Barker as Arkwright was genius “ggggranville fetch your cloth”
