My sentiments entirely Ed, in addition to that only a few of those plane types actually flew there anyway. Seems a bit of a crazy waste of time and effort and not a litle bit of an insult to the veterans that crowded the Strand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Flypast was a bit crap, but seeing all the guy's on parade made me feel proud. My Uncle was there today (2 para). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliAl Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I had the pleasure of sitting in my back garden having a bbq when about 20 helicopters passed over rather low. This included two Apache’s. Kinda guessed that they must be coming from the Falkland War flypast. Amazing sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
