[@Distant394]

That wasn’t a fly past that was a stock count of how many planes we have got left flying 🤣

[@Gary-jp2tf]

So much for a man whose to care for the environment so much fuel and pollution

[@chris-rfs]

Thx for the video...i couldn't get to see the flypast in person this year so this was great.❤

[@Avi8Jack]

Sorry to hear you couldn’t make it! Thanks for watching :)

[@TheBioniXman]

Enjoy this video. Next year all flypasts have been contracted out. Expect to see three Ryanair 737s flying in formation. Defence cuts have caused this but it is good value as Ryanair are only charging £19 per aircraft to do the London diversion on route from Stansted to Benidorm.

[@ilyasVa]

Very good footage. Subbed ✌🏼❤️

[@Avi8Jack]

Thank you much appreciated! Welcome to the channel

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Watched it fly over Hammersmith best one for a few years the weather cleared just in time then went back to heavy showers 😊

[@Avi8Jack]

Yeah perfect timing with the weather! Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-fn1ur3fh2e]

Outstanding footage as usual from this young director 😍✈️

[@Avi8Jack]

Thank you very much👊🏻

[@ianlaws3857]

It,s only half a flypast when there,s no Lancaster

[@markfox1545]

Bit confused by apostrophes and commas eh?

[@TheDaveRout]

And we couldn’t get more than one plane for our paras to jump out of for the D day remembrance.

[@brianwillson9567]

If the USAF can keep its B52s why could King Charles not have a Vulcan?

[@265justy]

B-52s have been upgraded several times and will continue to fly for years yet. So has Russias Tu-95 Bears.. I think it's was defence budgeting that killed the Vulcan.

[@brianwillson9567]

@@265justy defence budgeting kills so much. TSR2 springs to mind.

[@markymark3572]

The Vulcan was developed later than the B52, so it was actually more modern when it entered service. However, years of post WW2 British government defence cuts meant that the Vulcan was never really upgraded while it was in service. Meanwhile, the USAF has constantly upgraded the B-52, so it remains a formidable weapons platform to this day. It's about to get even better with the fleet being upgraded with Rolls Royce engines. There's a certain irony in that if you think about it...

[@brianwillson9567]

@markymark3572 yes, a wonderful irony. It's just a pity they are not olympus series 200. Imagine a BUFF with a Vulcan howl.

[@lastofthefallensouls1943]

It was criminal to retire the C130 hercs

[@Avi8Jack]

Yeah really miss the herc, such an icon!

[@FinsburyPhil]

That's about 10% of the whole RAF

[@philipashley1517]

50% I reckon🙄

[@FinsburyPhil]

@@philipashley1517 Let me try and be a bit more scientific - it was just a rough guess. Chinook 3/60 (5%); Typhoon 7/107 (6.5%) ; Texan 2/14 (14%); Phenom 1/5 (20%); C-17 1/8 (12%); Voyager 1/9 (11%); A400 1/22 (4.5%); Poseidon 1/9 (11%); Rivet Joint 1/3 (33%); Hawk T.2 3/28 (10%); F-35 4/33 (12%). So the 24 aircraft shown (not including the Red Arrows) represent an in service strength of 298 aircraft, or about 8% of the main types in the RAF; in a four minute fly past.

[@davidmccann9811]

@@FinsburyPhil The MOD website says the RAF have 466 aircraft in service with 143 due for delivery.

[@FinsburyPhil]

My numbers were for the aircraft types in the fly past. Those MOD numbers include for instance 91 Grob Tutors and 52 Grob Vikings (a glider) used by Air Cadets. They have more of those than Typhoons and Lightnings combined. In fact about the only confirmed additional orders are for more Grobs, Texan trainers and Protector drones. Meanwhile the Chinook operational fleet is being reduced from 60 to 51 and no new orders have been placed for Lightnings

[@avrn1094]

did they pay ULEZ?

[@Westlondontransportguy7045]

when the first planes flew by i thought a plane was about to crash into my house

[@Avi8Jack]

Yeah they were pretty low!

[@dereklupton5259]

Sorry, but as a fly-past, apart from the red arrows, I thought that was pathetic. A bit like some banana republic showing-off its 10 or 12 planes
