Bit of a shame the BBC didn't stick with Jake Humphrey long enough to allow him to tell us live from the Lancaster what being in it was like. Sounded noisy though!
I thought he was going to be sick!Pretty poor commentary from Huw Wotsit regarding the warbirds - he might have mentioned something about the 'timeless drone of six Merlins' but then I realised he works for the BBC so would have no idea what the airplanes are, still less the engines.

TBH it was a pretty piffs poor commentary from him most of the day

How much do I envy you?
what a fabulous scene from a garden's piffsup
fabuloso as Kenneth Williams might have said
It is a shame Humphrey got the best seat in the whole show, then had the footage wasted by the producer, crap aero commentary is far better than the Welsh Droner droning drivel.
Still, I enjoyed the PH finish from the palace
Think of it
The Bride, The Groom, an Aston with the top down, top cover from the S&R pros and an empty Mall...
I'd have floored it and burnt some wonderful rubber, let's see the London Rozzers doing a "Aussie Copper" on Wills.

might have been a pair of Tonkas and maybe just a pair of Typhoons
All the Harriers are parked in hangars waiting for CMD to U turn
or more likely not

Superb - thanks for staying sober enough to point accurately!
By some strange coincidence there was a Spitfire flying around Rendlesham/Bentwaters at 2:00pm, too.
That Might have been the spit from the BOBMF before they turned up with us.By some strange coincidence there was a Spitfire flying around Rendlesham/Bentwaters at 2:00pm, too.
The Trio may have split up.
Unusually they transited the village from the East down the Bourne road (The route the Red Arrows normally Take and the occassional Tonka from Marham that beats the Village up from time to Time. Most times they enter the Village From the Cottesmore (A1) end
I know the lanc was Late because it did a transit over the Deeping Area (mate got it on film in Baston) prior to getting to us and probably why he was pretty late compared to the Fighters.
