Hi
Noted in perfect weather was a flying display which consisted of

Typhoon
4 Hawks
Sea King demo
3 Tutors
2 Falcons fly through
BBMoF

Also we had a surprise vistor in the shape of 'Sparrowhawk 54', G-KALS, a Challanger 300 which landed at 12.00, parked near the viewing area on the western side of the runway and out got....HRH The Queen!
She returned at 16.00 and departed as 'Sparrowhawk54R', sqwarking 5454. What is the significance of the number 54? Apparently she had been presenting medals at nearby Catterick.

The proceedings ended at 17.00 with the Typhoon doing a zoom climb in full afterburner to high altitude, followed by the Sokol which seemed to make more noise and appeared to have a climb rate of about 100ft per minute.
