So red arrows only everything else cancelled with a possible attempt at 1600 I'm told.

The BBMF - 2 x Hurricane and 3 x Spitfire - are camped out on the pumps here at White Waltham - not sure if these are the ones from the cancelled flypast.

They've just moved one of the Spitfires so that there's a chance for everyone else to get some fuel now!

I was walking the dog in fields half a mile from White Waltham this afternoon & had a magnificent view of those planes flying around for a good half hour or so. I doubt the queen would have had a better view if it had gone ahead earlier! Superb.

The ones at White Waltham were on all counts, the ones that should have been in the flypast.

Shame that he helicopter element didn't make it.

Think they all just buzzed us in Henley on their way somewhere this morning about 11:15 - quite a sound (and sight)! Might have been missing one though - I only counted 4 planes....

I lost my hat in Henley when they buzzed over. Teach me for sticking my head out the window of the car, worth it though!

Saw the helicopters (Sea King, Chinook and Puma?)over Steeple Morden around 12pm on Saturday - very, very low.

I live pretty much next to RAF Northolt and we were treated to this this morning. Flew over my house a good 5-6 times. Makes up for not seeing the planes for the Queens flypast!

Typhoon and a Spit had a play at the end of Cosford Airshow on Sunday. Not sure the Typhoon was comfortable going slow enough for the spit to keep up...

The Typh did look like it was going a bit slow to stay with it today, but the noise was oh so worth it!

Just looked at the RAF Northolt twitter and they were out for a flypast at the Magna Carta's 800th Anniversary.

The Typhoon is more than capable of going slowly, the RAF have done demonstration intercepts on light GA aircraft
