In formation again - one last time.


This brought a lump to my throat.....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11120357

A perfect way to mark such bravery. I myself think.

Thank you for that; what a lovely tribute. I've always had the greatest admiration for your RAF's heroism ... as Churchill said, Never have so many owed so much to so few. That was very touching.

Re: In formation again - one last time.


I love the symbolism of a peacetime jet liner flying alongside these historical planes. A very fitting tribute - without these heroes we would not be free to fly where we like today.

As a small child living on the fringes of west London I remember occasional display flights by both WWII fighter and bomber craft out of Northolt airport . . . they had very distinct sounds. My Dad could name what was flying overhead without looking up to see what it was.
