Yep, on Christmas Day, or Christmas Eve IIRC.....A good mate of mine back in the day, who I used to navigate for on stage rallies was on board one of them. BA did a draw from their staff payroll, and he was one of the ones selected, and so all four for that special flight was full of BA staff.
I remember him saying the highlight was just after those air-air formation photos had been taken, the pilots did a not-very-airliner-like fighter like break from formation as they all peeled off....
Sad sight of burial of F-111 in Australia but when watching video understandable as the panels were bonded together with asbestos.

Me410 A-3 Wr.Nr.10259, with RAF serial TF209. One of 6 x Me410's evaluated by the RAF, and after testing at the Enemy Aircraft Flight at RAF Collyweston, RAE at Farnborough and the AAEE at Boscombe Down it was operated by the Fighter Interception unit at RAF Wittering from autumn of 1944 until spring of 1946, which is when this photo was taken.Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
