Fly past over London
Whenever the Royal Air Force does a fly past over central London, I try to catch it at home since we live almost due west of the city centre and usually catch such fly pasts before the aircraft disperse.
Today it was the Queen’s official birthday and so, after the ceremony of the Trooping of the Colour, there was a fly past. As this is the 90th year of the RAF, there was an unusually large formation totalling 55 aircraft spread over 20 miles of sky.
At the moment, we’re having repair work done on our roof and so we have scaffolding in place. This enabled us to climb out of the loft window, stand on the scaffolding, and have particularly good views of the passing formations. You can see the thrilling sight that we saw in this seven-minute video clip.
