Battle of Britain Flypast at Royal Wedding

A 38-second video of the Battle of Britain flypast at today's Royal Wedding can be found at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajorLvEIPDU (If this link somehow doesn't work, search at YouTube for "Battle of Britain fly past of royal wedding.") A Lancaster was flanked by a Spitfire and Hurricane. I choked up more over the flypast than the wedding itself! I saw a similar Battle of Britain victory formation at Thunder Over Michigan in 2009.

    I think it was a poor show, TBH, however at Hacoby in Lincolnshire we were treated to a great 5 minute display by the Spitfire and the Hurricane both flying low over my son and I, less than 200ft, we were standing in the middle of a field, the Lancaster followed 15 mins later when we hit the pub.
