Managed to drag myself to Waterloo and onto the South Bank of the Thames for the fly-past. A bit colder than I expected, and fairly cloudy, but I got some reasonable pictures - 178 of them, plus a lot of duds I deleted!

They're all on line here

I need to go through and identify the aircraft types etc., and I'm not the world's best at aircraft ID. Any and all help will be appreciated, just add to the comments on the photos if you know them.

No probs! Not terribly sure about those Spitfire and Hurricane Marks, tbh, but close enough, I think.

Splendid! My pics are all duds, but I did at least get to see the aircraft fly.
