An impressive display

Absolutely Brilliant! I wish it was the 50's again!

What no Canberras! All 48 of them on the cutting room floor.

At the end the narrator mentions the the last plane in the flypast is the F-4. I didn't think that went into production until 1958. Did I miss hear?

A Swift F4 (?) prototype was flying in 1952 I think. I was there on that day as my farther was an NCO at RAF Odiham. I was 8.

@@richardforder8390 what a great experience to be able to recall

[@TheMattlockyer]

@@richardforder8390 And thanks for letting me know about the swift. I knew it wasn’t a phantom but still found it mystifying.

I see the girls marching past at 2:15 are not being trusted with rifles. Excellent video - thanks for posting.

I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on

Don't the Lincolns and B29s look out of place alongside the jets!

When the royal air force was a force, not today’s royal air farce.
