Royal Air Force: Celebrating 90 Years
Fri 11 Jul, 2:15 pm - 3:00 pm 45mins

Dan Snow and Kate Silverton introduce live coverage from RAF Fairford one of the largest fly-pasts ever seen in Britain. Watched by Her Majesty The Queen, ninety aircraft, from bi-planes of the First World War to the modern jets and helicopters flying in Iraq and Afghanistan today, celebrate 90 years of the Royal Air Force.
 
Cheers, caught the last 30 mins. Fairly carp presenters and camerawork, but lovely landing by the Lanc and a "colonial" Typhoon pilot with a rather WWII look about him.
 
Yep crap camera work, but great flybys I get all tingly when I see some of those birds fly.

Makes you proud to be British.
 
I saw 4 jets fly over Gloucester while I was working this morning, well it was five really because there was one just behind and over a bit from them. Makes me wish I'd got tickets for Fairford.
 
I've got to say that it was probably one of the worst commentaries that I've heard for an event like this. The guy must have known what to expect but clearly couldn't have done the slightest bit of subject research.
Where's Raymond Baxter when he's needed.
