No,I couldn't do any better but I'd like to see the lines straighter.
The Koreans manage it.
Was that today? What time? I was at Aston Hill and got buzzed by, first, the Red Arrows, then some bomber plane with a fighter escort I couldn't make out (Lancaster?), following by a trio of Spitfires (what's what they looked like through the tree cover.
The planes do a quick spin over RAF Halton on their way back; if you'd been in a gap in the trees you could have seen the whole display. The big planes coming over low are an impressive sight!
Unfortunately, I only saw the Spitfires and a tail of the bomber. Someone else mentioned the others were the Red Arrows. I would normally curse the tree cover, as a result, but today it made the push up bearable.
It's quite disconcerting going down the steepest section of the black run with jet fighters flying low overhead 😯

Yeah, but they have an incentive: any who don't get shot or sent to their version of a gulag.
My dad is ex forces, so I've this for all my 48 years probably. Standards in drill have dropped in the last 10-15 years at Trooping the Colour. But they've spent a lot more time on active service in that time as well.
A good point well made.^^^^
