@ Take it easy, you 2, Germany is a fine country; you chaps just need to ditch the "Schuld" and remind the world of your cultural contribution and today's regard, as a fair and industrious nation.
Those are her heroes. She was young when Battle of Britain occurred. So she remembered clearly when those mighty machine flown pass. all the memory of the heroics aces that flown them and protect her and Britain from Nazi
When you are British and you see the queen you instinctively get a cuppa and sing god save the queen as you tuck in to some digestives as you wave your mini British flag.
When the Queen was born the RAF was still flying bi-planes. All of those aircraft were developed while she has been alive, And most have been developed while she was Queen.
When i was 21 i met with Michael Caine in a Airport 1st class lounge waiting for a flight I came up to him and asked if i may shake your hand i am a big fan of one of your movies..As he reached for my hand with a smile he said Wut only one? I told him A few years back i seen the movie Battle of Britain and as a boy i loved WW2 action films He had said : Well my boy You have shaken my hand I shook hands with a Man called Stanford Tuck He was the wing leader at Biggin's hill and was the real person that fought over the sky's He Shook hands with the Queen when she offered her hand I had also met Major Gen, Adolfo Galland He also flew over the same sky's against Tuck And shook hands with Goring and Hitler But we will not hold that against him shall we? If you liked that movie have you seen a movie called a bridge too far? I think so i said ..Well i play a "Small" part in it ...I said I'm really sorry to bother you I know people must want pictures and ask questions He asked me what part of America are you from? I said I'm Canadian ...Right that explains why your so nice Well my lad have a safe flight ....class act
@John Brighton nope. Also some of the aircraft aren't made by the UK, but were designed and produced by the US. It's still one hell of a sight. I love the Typhoon.
@@Gramsciii It’s a quote by the Prime Minister of the UK in WWII, expressing his gratitude for the sacrifices made by the pilots of the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain. He was explaining how an entire country, with all its people, owed everything to only a few pilots who gave their all in the air over the English Channel.
I’m considering the raf as a career choice but am extremely worried that my a level choices will not allow me to Pursue becoming an raf pilot. I want to do law, history and economics however I heard taking physics and maths will be very appealing to raf recruiters as it’s linked to flying and such. could you give any advice on what I should do?
@@benb3756 that’s exactly what I took, physics and maths, I hated maths because I was bad at it at first but loved physics all the way throughout college, was good at it and enjoyed it - physics is especially important I think - good luck!
That was beautiful. Actually brought a tear to my eye, that's so damn patriotic, and I'm not even British. The formation at the end, with the '100', must have taken so long to get right. And they nailed it! Man. I do love planes.
And yet the US Democrats flipped their shit when Trump requested that a few planes flyover for the 4th of July... I wish the US media treated our celebration as well as the British media treated the RAF celebration lol.
All the Russian pilots who flew in formation of a 70 during the 2015 Moscow victory day parade on the 70th anniversary of the fall of Berlin are crying now
I now get American patriotism. I always thought it was a bit manic but after watching this as a Brit you do feel an immense amount of pride. The U.S do things a bit differently, perhaps more aggressively(probably not the right word), but it's definitely good to have pride and patriotism for one's own country.
Its definitely good to be proud of your country - unfortunately, sometimes patriotism is twisted to follow individual believes and ideals that really don't represent the country.
@@michaelsims1160 People have been saying that since the end of WW2. The US had ample opportunity to hold the world hostage when they were for a brief 2 year period the only nuclear power on the planet.

Still free? You mean still British. The idea that every war is fought in the defense of a nations "freedom" is a lie. If Germany won the war things would be different for better or worse who's to say.. but the fact of the matter is that most people would still be "free" even if their country lost a war. The establishment wants to hold on to their power so they demonize their enemies as much as they possibly clan to get the people on their side so they can retain their power. Nations rise and fall and some nations are worse than others but to believe that you are only free because you won a war is ludicrous.
Exactly what I thought. In my opinion, one of the RAFs most spectacular aircraft. I was there for its last flight but I wish I could see it up there for one last time.
Not sure if a Valiant is left but I know that Vulcans and Victors are. They should of had an Attacking V of the V-Bombers, it was a missed opportunity.
Callum Sherratt I wanna join the RAF when I’m older been dreaming to be a fighter pilot for years. Wanna fly a typhoon probably will be out of service when I join. Maybe one day I will see you!
I booked the day off work to go there. I cried when the Lancaster and Dakota flew over because my grandad was in the RAF and he passed away in 2015 so wasn’t able to watch it. Miss him so much.
This is pretty sweet Great Britain should be proud of their air force they defended their skies from Nazi tyranny and defeated most of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. That last 100 formation was amazing.
Poles shot down the most German planes during the Battle of Britain. And were the ones who taught the Brits how to fly head-on into a German bomber formation and then pull up and dive back down for another attack run, instead of attacking from the rear which was standard RAF doctrine and got a lot of pilots shot down. Funnily enough you'll find Brexiters today who hate Polish people and all they've contributed lol
@@Novusa In my own expection, I saw a lot of Argentine people to respect UK more than hate. That's why you can say they are quite respectful to other countries.

Il y a 75 ans , merci à ces avions d'être venus à notre secours !!! Bonjour de France . 75 years ago, thanks to these planes for coming to our rescue !!! Hello from France .
I was working in the City when this happened, and took a long lunch break to go over to the Barbican, directly under the flight path and with a great view. There were hundreds of other office workers there, but I think most of us had no idea of the scale of the flypast we were about to see. The most impressive air display I have and perhaps ever will witness, and an awesome sight I'll always remember.
Look how proud the queen looks when she sees the Lancaster flying overhead, she probably remembers what she was doing when they helped win the war for the allied forces
The warbirds almost made me cry lol The Lanc is my all time favourite so seeing it in a close formation protected by the fighters that won the battle of Britain, just a loss for words really, such an amazing tribute to the courageous pilots of that era.
For those commenting negatively on the Royal Family appearance on the BBC version of the flypast, please know that the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was an active member of the British Armed Forces during WWII, and based in London. King George VI and the Royal family were instrumental in providing encouragement and support to the British population during the war, and particularly during grimmest times when England suffered greatly from the countless bombs being dropped by the German Luftwaffe, causing death and injury to many thousands!. So, grant her and her family the right to participate in enjoying the RAF's 100th anniversary. If it wasn't for the RAF routing the NAZI Luftwaffe in the famous aerial 'Battle of Britain '' in 1941, the result could have been catastrophic for the 'Free World".
Ifs and buts don't count. Could have, would have, should have! Hah!! What if Britain, France and their allies had stomped on Hitler and his army when they first started their political aims like reoccupying the Ruhr in 1936, or marching into Austria in 1938 and their other seizures of land in the interests of lebensraum (sic?) Then millions of people would not have died in war and through other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his gang. I rest my case Mirco
@ mirko djuric Er Hum.....dear sir, what you were just watching, you know, the establishment that is the oldest Airforce in the world, the *RAF* , they stopped Hitler from invading Britain. Even Hitler was not dumb enough to try an invasion without air superiority.
The F35 has got to be one of my favourite aircraft, and seeing it flyover like that was absolutely stunning! I let out a massive cheer for the F35's!!!!
In close quarters combat generally the older aircraft like an english electric lightning or a harrier will run circles around more modern aircraft. The f-35 just has more modern radar and the like whilst maintaining relatively high performance despite being vtol. The cost-benefit is definately terrible though
The Harrier was STOVL, the F35 is actually VTOL. The U.K. will use them in a STOVL capacity though. If you are still on the F35 hate train I would recommend looking up how it has done in recent years, most of the kinks have been sorted out and it is shaping to be an amazing aircraft.
I made a 5 hour drive down to London to watch this 2 years ago, I can promise you, this video doesn't do the event justice, one of the best things i've ever seen in my life.
Where is Prince Phillip? Why was he not present with the Royal family? Also, it's a shame that the Vulcan is no longer in service and no longer available. Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft the RAF ever had.
He has retired from all public duties as he is 97 and I don't think in good health. Agree it is a shame the Vulcan is no longer in service - beautiful plane.
From America to the UK: hail Britannia!! -a magnificent force for civilization and freedom. It was the greatest and most benign empire this world will ever know.
Im just saying that to say the British Empire was benign is ludicrous and false and far from the truth. Did not once say they were the worst but certainly not good. I'm British so nothing against just making a point.
@@tonebonetones Bruh your 'Proud to be American' yet you have a crap president and ngl we have a crap priminister but if we want to be proud and you want to get shot then we are allowed to do that
Fun Fact: the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion -> Red Army Fraction) was a left extremistic terror group in my homecountry Germany. They killed 34 and injured 200 people with bomb attacks or „simple“ murders.
When the Spits, Huris and the Lanc turned up, that formation got the biggest cheer of all It was amazing to watch them all get into their correct places on flight tracker
The smile on the Queens face said it all she was delighted so well deserved. The combined efforts of all concerned deserve heaps of praise for an incredible event for us all
ANGRY RED you do realise that Eurofighter Typhoons are made by Saab - they’re not American. Also the Hawk Harrier jets that we sold to America were made here.
@dustisdeadbodies85 I actually prefer the victor to the Vulcan although the Vulcan is more iconic. loved to of seen a lightning in flight as it was also a British icon of the Cold War era. There is only 1 cool lightning in my view and it isn't American.
SNIPER SHOTGUN I think u would rather have Russia and China to be USA’s alley. They are much more stronger in both military power and economic power nowadays.
@hunkgod Firstly, what do u mean different values? I thought all people in all countries share the same value, which is make money. Secondly, I don't think USA has the right to claim China and Russia have human right violations when USA almost at every war after WW2.
hunkgod Man, do u know the whole reason why there is no one went to help the little girl? That is a very extreme example. Just like, I could say that USA’s cops are all racism. They are treating white better than black. They would kill black for no reasons. Would u agree on what I am saying? One extreme example does not represent the whole country. It is definitely true that USA has much more people use guns for crime and violence reasons, so does it mean US citizens likes war and violence more than any other countries. On the other hand, the countries that USA send troops to are definitely judge by US claiming they did not treat their people well. However, I am not sure that is what other nations would agree on. Meanwhile, I am not quite sure the citizens in Middle East countries want US’s help anymore. US send troops into the war in Syria in 2012 still haven’t end today! This is the sixth years already, even the WW2 is ended in six years.
Im not even british born but I brithis rigth now and i feel Patriotic ..... My country was Chile and thanks UK for you support all time I miss Sea Harriers Falklands campaing
My parents used to live in Greenford. Whenever there was a flypast at Buckingham Palace we could go into the garden after watching it on TV for our own show right over the house a few minutes later.
If, like me, you're a fan of trains, quickly pause at these stamps 2:39 Southern 377 and Southeastern 465 4:06 Gatwick Express 387 and two Southern 377's 11:18 One of the London terminals, don't really see an actual train tho
I was there! In happier times I worked very close and it was an amazing experience. The Battle of Britain planes got the loudest cheer, but the Typhoon formation was amazing!
if people did some research they would know the red arrows show red, white and blue which is the correct order and not the french flag which is blue, white and red.
I think most of them have flying examples too. I saw a mossie here in Canada a few years back but I suppose none of them are still flown by the RAF which is kinda the point I suppose. Would have been great for XH558 to have been there though.
The Boss's face lights up like no other time when that Lancaster and her escorts fly overhead. She certainly heard enough way back when. Fantastic display even two years later. Bravo Great Britain!
My goodness, do the Brits know how to put on a show or what? 3:10 epic epicness. (The ww2 engines had this low rumble that rattle your bones) ... 10:19, pretty cool. (Are they using the B version?)

@@doriensutherland8893 , je le pense aussi !
I think so too !
we just wanted to save belgium /s
I was working in the City when this happened, and took a long lunch break to go over to the Barbican, directly under the flight path and with a great view. There were hundreds of other office workers there, but I think most of us had no idea of the scale of the flypast we were about to see. The most impressive air display I have and perhaps ever will witness, and an awesome sight I'll always remember.
She was lit when the oldies went over her. Haven’t heard those in forever
R.I.P sea harriers
Mr. aviation thats what i thought,the yanks could have gave us one back from storage,
I frequent air shows and I've seen both a harrier take off and a vulcan. Miss them both dearly
so sad :'(
What do Sea Harriers have to do with anything?
Sea harriers fuckin life mate
7:15 “The queen clearly enjoying the spectacle at the palace today”
Queen: Realised the new cod doesn’t have ghost

Yes its Alex.
It does now lol

Thanks Sophie for explaining the connection between The Royal Family and The Royal Air Force. That one's always stumped me.
That makes me very proud. Congratulations RAF @ 100..... Thank you for your service and also the young men of the RFC :-)
If you say so.
Well said :-)
Rad Derry pride does come before a fall,being proud doesn't,understand?
Proud? ... What are you proud of? Were you in this? :)
What's RFC?
Much love from the US. That eurofighter formation was amazing
Look how proud the queen looks when she sees the Lancaster flying overhead, she probably remembers what she was doing when they helped win the war for the allied forces
Her smile as the Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricanes flew over was all I needed to see.
Imagine she probably stood and watch those aircraft respond and intercept the Luftwaffe in the 40s
@@stewartgrindlay9760 Indeed. It's almost surreal to think that this airshow spans her lifetime with little to spare.
The warbirds almost made me cry lol
The Lanc is my all time favourite so seeing it in a close formation protected by the fighters that won the battle of Britain, just a loss for words really, such an amazing tribute to the courageous pilots of that era.
The logistics of this flyover must have been insane! To coordinate 100 aircraft over such a small corridor is no easy task:)
For those commenting negatively on the Royal Family appearance on the BBC version of the flypast, please know that the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was an active member of the British Armed Forces during WWII, and based in London. King George VI and the Royal family were instrumental in providing encouragement and support to the British population during the war, and particularly during grimmest times when England suffered greatly from the countless bombs being dropped by the German Luftwaffe, causing death and injury to many thousands!. So, grant her and her family the right to participate in enjoying the RAF's 100th anniversary. If it wasn't for the RAF routing the NAZI Luftwaffe in the famous aerial 'Battle of Britain '' in 1941, the result could have been catastrophic for the 'Free World".
the man with the green cortina Hey do you really have a green Cortina? 😁😁Coooool
I think it was only Edward the Abdicator
Scary thought.
Ifs and buts don't count. Could have, would have, should have! Hah!!
What if Britain, France and their allies had stomped on Hitler and his army when they first started their political aims like reoccupying the Ruhr in 1936, or marching into Austria in 1938 and their other seizures of land in the interests of lebensraum (sic?) Then millions of people would not have died in war and through other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his gang. I rest my case Mirco
@ mirko djuric
Er Hum.....dear sir, what you were just watching, you know, the establishment that is the oldest Airforce in the world, the *RAF* , they stopped Hitler from invading Britain. Even Hitler was not dumb enough to try an invasion without air superiority.
The F35 has got to be one of my favourite aircraft, and seeing it flyover like that was absolutely stunning! I let out a massive cheer for the F35's!!!!
In close quarters combat generally the older aircraft like an english electric lightning or a harrier will run circles around more modern aircraft. The f-35 just has more modern radar and the like whilst maintaining relatively high performance despite being vtol. The cost-benefit is definately terrible though
The Harrier was STOVL, the F35 is actually VTOL. The U.K. will use them in a STOVL capacity though. If you are still on the F35 hate train I would recommend looking up how it has done in recent years, most of the kinks have been sorted out and it is shaping to be an amazing aircraft.
i have no doubt it's an amazing plane it's more the budget concerns and broken american lobbying systems
Fair enough.
How would you know. Have any of you flown an F35? Thought not..
I made a 5 hour drive down to London to watch this 2 years ago, I can promise you, this video doesn't do the event justice, one of the best things i've ever seen in my life.
its really nice to see the queen smile, reminds you of how long and great life can be
I'm not even British, but I feel great pride in seeing that Wellington Spitfire Hurricane formation
Shadowboost that wasn't a Wellington
It was a Lancaster
I have to say I personally think the loudest cheers were for the Spitfires, Hurricanes and the Lancaster. Such legendary aircraft
Where is Prince Phillip? Why was he not present with the Royal family? Also, it's a shame that the Vulcan is no longer in service and no longer available. Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft the RAF ever had.
He has retired from all public duties as he is 97 and I don't think in good health. Agree it is a shame the Vulcan is no longer in service - beautiful plane.
Golf Hound there is one Vulcan still flying
Louis Greenleaf Nope, it is no longer certified to fly, as of 2015
Vulcan will live forever.... in our hearts... and now in this comment, too!
He was flying the Lancaster
From America to the UK: hail Britannia!! -a magnificent force for civilization and freedom. It was the greatest and most benign empire this world will ever know.
British Empire and Benign? It didn't get its empire being Benign.... LOL. Millions dead at the hands of the British directly and indirectly.
Jebus Christ And? Just because the British empire is the most famous doesn't mean they were the worst.
Im just saying that to say the British Empire was benign is ludicrous and false and far from the truth. Did not once say they were the worst but certainly not good. I'm British so nothing against just making a point.
Jebus Christ Yeah that's true, we weren't benign. We had power to our advantage so we used it
Richard Dawson Yet they got defeated by a group of rebels who wanted independence. Like damn lmfao
This is good respect from Norway 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
🇳🇴 🇬🇧
Respect from the UK
proud to be british, happy birthday RAF
.....as problem strewn and stupidly expensive foreign made F35s lumber overhead. Yeah, proud to be a serf and a fool, you mean.
@@tonebonetones he ain't the one making the decision to buy the F-35's.
@@tonebonetones Bruh your 'Proud to be American' yet you have a crap president and ngl we have a crap priminister but if we want to be proud and you want to get shot then we are allowed to do that
@@tonebonetones how idiotic are you from 1-10? Don't think that your country is greater.
@@tonebonetones lol what are you on about?
fun fact: the icon on american aircraft was inspired by the raf icon. they just pulled the white band into a star.
happy 100 RAF
(im american btw)
I'd like to know where you concocted that fictional theory
@@chsims7032 it's actually true it's on a history article on the usaf heritage website
@RedJive213 isn’t that the the navy logo, or am I getting it wrong?
Fun Fact: the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion -> Red Army Fraction) was a left extremistic terror group in my homecountry Germany.
They killed 34 and injured 200 people with bomb attacks or „simple“ murders.
Really Kinda strange to have people being happy about the RAF and heaving a feast for an anniversary 😂
Gotta love the smile on her when the Lancaster, Spits and Hurricanes went over.
Makes me proud to be British too see all of our Royal Air Force turning 100 ....
"The f-35s: this is the first time these aircraft have ever been seen over the skies of London".
*literally on screen for 9 seconds*
Tells everything about a plane
They were there the whole time circling...You only saw them when they turned off the "Stealth"..DUH!!
I mean they can't exactly go as slow as a spifire.
@flip inheck and spitfires have a stall speed of like 70
to do, yeah they can. it can even hover.
When the Spits, Huris and the Lanc turned up, that formation got the biggest cheer of all
It was amazing to watch them all get into their correct places on flight tracker
6:00 RIP to that guard not being able to watch the event
That Lancaster was just amazing. I loved the AWACS and the Globemaster too, very cool
The smile on the Queens face said it all she was delighted so well deserved. The combined efforts of all concerned deserve heaps of praise for an incredible event for us all
Those spitfires, hurricanes and Lancasters are just 🔛🔛🔛🔛
love the chinooks they fly over our house all the time i always run out to see them
i have Typhoons and red arrows flying over my house all the time.
I have sparrows flying over my house all the time.
Mr.Bubbles shit in America I got F-15s over my house all the time
Ameer Ibrahim i got pigeons
I’ve always got wildcats and merlins round me
I feel alive again! God bless the Queen of United Kingdom! Love from Malaysia.
❤️
@Astolfo Desu Thank you for your kind words. 🙏
It gives me a bit of comfort that the US has such a capable partner there in Europe. Congratulations RAF, it hasn't been easy.
The RAF washes the floor with your lousy airforce
@@Nofurtherquestions Lmao what a joke. We have 4 times as many aircraft including 5th gen. Brits are stuck with 3rd gen.
ANGRY RED you do realise that Eurofighter Typhoons are made by Saab - they’re not American. Also the Hawk Harrier jets that we sold to America were made here.
N u g g e t why tf are you two arguing about that grow tf up the UK and the USA are the closet allies now shut up
Both with incredible airforces
Bubba Squirtening who cares
4:33 A29 ----Super-tucanos-----Happy birthday, RAF---From Brazil!
The pilots did a beautiful, Royal , professional job.
Shame the vulcan was grounded a couple years before
@dustisdeadbodies85 I actually prefer the victor to the Vulcan although the Vulcan is more iconic. loved to of seen a lightning in flight as it was also a British icon of the Cold War era. There is only 1 cool lightning in my view and it isn't American.
@@blick9538 i think the costs were just too much, u can build a spit with bits in your shed, the vulcan has 14 miles of wireing alone
@@WillSmith-qk1be may the genuine lightning rest in peace.
@@blick9538 grounded operationally, but plenty still flying
got memories, my grandfather used to fly a spitfire in ww2
3:10 would've been a hilarious time for a private pilot to fly by in his refurbished BF 109
Tiger tank just roles through the gates along with the bf 109 in the sky
And then breaks down, as is German tradition.
“Hans, did the transmission break again?”
The Queen, surprisingly enough, is probably one of the very few there who would be used to the sound of Lancasters and Hurricanes flying overhead.
As an air cadet I love this video. Watched it hundreds of times. 😁
Scottish Maniac 2 congrats on the 100th anniversary of the RAF love from USA civil air patrol
Ameer Ibrahim ❤️
Honestly, the Eurofighter Typhoons are absolutely beautiful aircraft. Often underrated aesthetically
Just another reason why I'm glad Great Britain is America's Strongest Alley.
SNIPER SHOTGUN I think u would rather have Russia and China to be USA’s alley. They are much more stronger in both military power and economic power nowadays.
@hunkgod Firstly, what do u mean different values? I thought all people in all countries share the same value, which is make money. Secondly, I don't think USA has the right to claim China and Russia have human right violations when USA almost at every war after WW2.
hunkgod Man, do u know the whole reason why there is no one went to help the little girl? That is a very extreme example. Just like, I could say that USA’s cops are all racism. They are treating white better than black. They would kill black for no reasons. Would u agree on what I am saying? One extreme example does not represent the whole country. It is definitely true that USA has much more people use guns for crime and violence reasons, so does it mean US citizens likes war and violence more than any other countries.
On the other hand, the countries that USA send troops to are definitely judge by US claiming they did not treat their people well. However, I am not sure that is what other nations would agree on. Meanwhile, I am not quite sure the citizens in Middle East countries want US’s help anymore. US send troops into the war in Syria in 2012 still haven’t end today! This is the sixth years already, even the WW2 is ended in six years.
France is Stronger in terms of military power
@@hamsterbacke5962 I definitely agree XD
Respect to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the real allies of this fine nation.
What about nations that the UK stole in the past and used the native people as soldiers
We didn't "steal" them, we simply made them British, i.e. "upgraded them".
@@rn-zu5ld keep bitching mate u can’t change history.
@@ok_bud6322 well said look to the future you can change that not the past.
i mean there's more than those 3 in the commonwealth and most of the rest are still friendly towards us that aren't in the commonwealth
Im not even british born but I brithis rigth now and i feel Patriotic ..... My country was Chile and thanks UK for you support all time I miss Sea Harriers Falklands campaing
Thanks always allies.
@@loyalist5736 Gracias Amigo From Croydon South London UK 🇨🇱🤝🇬🇧
Even now it gives me goose bumps to watch this.
Oh.. the A29 Super Tucano's sound...
As a Brazilian I could tell it apart, specially if it's a group of them... what a melody
My parents used to live in Greenford. Whenever there was a flypast at Buckingham Palace we could go into the garden after watching it on TV for our own show right over the house a few minutes later.
Happy birthday 101 RAF from india
I AM A FILIPINO, HOPE THAT I CAN WATCH RAF IN ENGLAND SOMEDAY.
Same baby
Ugh brits
@@Badbhoys why did you click on this if you dont like us
@@Centnal bc i wanted the queen to get hurt
@@Badbhoys well that's just not gonna happen is it
Brought a tear. My Grandfather was flying combat patrols on the Western Front aged 18 in Sopworth Camels with the RFC. Later the RAF. I am in awe.
If, like me, you're a fan of trains, quickly pause at these stamps
2:39 Southern 377 and Southeastern 465
4:06 Gatwick Express 387 and two Southern 377's
11:18 One of the London terminals, don't really see an actual train tho
The RAF is the most prestigious branch of all British forces, national proud of England and played a vital roll back in WWII
England isn't the only country in the UK what about us in Scotland! And the Welsh and Irish
I was there! In happier times I worked very close and it was an amazing experience. The Battle of Britain planes got the loudest cheer, but the Typhoon formation was amazing!
I'm crying at these marvels and the queen looks so stoic. She must have a heart of stone
if people did some research they would know the red arrows show red, white and blue which is the correct order and not the french flag which is blue, white and red.
11:33 French flag (Edit: Depending on which way you look at it it's either a french flag or an upside down french flag)
Actually it just depends if you were standing north or south of it.
It's both depending on what direction you look at it.
ollie lane iif
ollie lane They put frogspawn down their pants for good luck 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
The Lancaster was simply majestic. Reminds me so much of our Flying Fortresses and Liberators. Are there any more than one Lancaster left?
Rip queen Elizabeth we will always remember u ❤
Amen
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth ll
Got goosebumps when the Lancaster, Spitfire, and Hurricane go by
You just cannot argue that the Typhoon pass was astounding!!
Proud to be part of the RAF Cadets going into the RAF soon
Respect from America!
Harrier, Mosquito, EE Lightning, Hawker Tempest, Vampire, so many great aircraft that weren't there...
and VULCAN too...
I think most of them have flying examples too. I saw a mossie here in Canada a few years back but I suppose none of them are still flown by the RAF which is kinda the point I suppose. Would have been great for XH558 to have been there though.
The Queens face when she saw they typhoons was like : well we didnt have this when i was born
The Boss's face lights up like no other time when that Lancaster and her escorts fly overhead. She certainly heard enough way back when. Fantastic display even two years later. Bravo Great Britain!
My goodness, do the Brits know how to put on a show or what? 3:10 epic epicness. (The ww2 engines had this low rumble that rattle your bones) ... 10:19, pretty cool. (Are they using the B version?)
Nothing beats a Rolls Royce Merlin Engine. Fantastic
To answer your question, yes. Britain uses the F35b, and it sure does sound amazing!
The F-35b is used on the aircraft carriers and the a on land based RAF bases if I'm not mistaken but iv heard things that clash with that.
