For any members on the route to Buckingham Palace, 5 Spitfires, 2 Hurricanes and 4 Tiffies are commemorating the Battle of Britain today with a flypast at 11.45. I`ll be on my office roof.

That's good as they sometimes line up just up the road from me, often see them. |

There was some nice footage in a short piece on BBC Breakfast today, broadcast from Coningsby as the aircraft were being made ready. The only "downer" was the reporter stating that the Spitfire & Hurricane were the two types that fought the BoB. As is so often the case, other types don't get a mention. One statistic that has been repeated on various reports is that there are only six BoB pilots left now. |

Summer 1940/Summer 2015![]() Taken from my phone on top my office roof in the city so apologies for the quality. Three icons together from that period, Spitfire`s, Hurricane`s and St Paul`s. |

Nice piccies. Usually when they line up to go down the Mall I see/hear something but other than the Typhoons I missed it all. |
