Went down to Waterloo today and got some pictures of the flypast - not as spectacular as the RAF 100th anniversary a couple of years ago, but not bad.

Was there a Boeing Sentry? I'd have expected one to manage the air traffic.

I wasn't aware the Sentries were in Eastern Europe. If there are NATO ones there too, that may account for the Ukrainian Air Force doing better than expected. I don't see Nimrods in your Flickr pictures: which frames are you thinking of?

Ah! It seemed unlikely, since the last Nimrods left service in 2011 as far as Wikipedia knows.
