This is extremely sad, wonderful piece of British design and no reason to be losing it now :(

Very sad to see RAF Wittering & RAF Cottesmore (both Harrier bases and both within a few miles of Stamford, my hometown) under the threat of closure, As I've said before, when I was a small boy I used to watch these wonderful aircraft practicing in the South Lincolnshire skies.

My only defence for missing that is that I had just got back from the pub when I replied :D

I stick to my sentiment though.

Looks good doesn't it ? :D- some clever editing. I think the real last fly past was back in Dec as per my post here

The RAF Red Arrows are the best formation flying team in the world, I dontthink even they could get that number of aircraft in such close formation and all at exactly the same angle of flight:icon_lol:

It's one aircraft photoshopped and copy and pasted many times ;)

Yes that's the bit that should have been obvious, to this photographer (me) had I been sober :D

Cleverly done ... though it's a wonder they weren't tempted to bomb the Parliament buildings :rolleyes: in revenge for the incumbents forcing it to be their last flypast!
