Come on it was hardly a surprise it was obvious they were going to do it like when they did the ER formation as it was originally planned for the coronation but obviously that was cut due to the weather.

I was in Green Park, very close to The Mall and had a great view as the display flew virtually overhead. I took a video so a couple of screenshots are below - the Typhoons in CR formation and the Red Arrows with the Envoy IV.

For RAF100 in 2018, I wanted the reds over St Paul's ( from Oxo tower) but they didn't put the smoke on till Charing Cross. I had a quiet moan in the ear of a certain ex-Red who understood. There's your result. I was at Buck House though.

Great picture! I think we may have been stood next to each other if you were on Millenium Bridge. Thanks to he thread for pointers on where to go, had a cracking day.

Not to mention, well done to the pilots for keeping station so accurately - that formation will have been an absolute pig to form up and maintain! :thumb:

Thanks very much for taking the time to plot the Jubilee route, Andy. Fingers crossed that they take a similar track today!
Thanks, I overlaid yesterday's route onto the jubilee ones and over the Essex section it was identical so handy to know that they are consistent for future events
