Coronation Fly Past

 

 No doubt a lot of you will have sat and watched the Coronation last Saturday. The RAF did a flypast at the end and you will have see the helicopters flying over in the low cloud. Once the Red Arrows flew past that was the end of the RAF flypast 

 
At least I thought it was, 20 min's later I heard a low flying Helicopter and looking out the kitchen window I watched the lead Helicopter flypast  low enough to see the pilot. By the time I ran to get my iphone and bumping into my wife only to miss the Apache's just getting two as the flew away

 
I did get the next two and the last Apache flying over

 
I got the last helicopter flying past but missed one that had done a circuit. The helicopter's are based at a couple of military bases nearby 
 

As it is Skywatch I will leave you with this shot I captured with a wild life camera

Happy Skywatch

Nice shots of the helicopters. I still love seeing military helicopters flying around. We have a lot from our local national guard flying around doing whatever they do. The nutjobs say that our President is trying to intimidate the local populace.

Me again, I love the last shot. I live for candid shots from my trail cam.

Great photos! I wasn't able to watch the coronation live as it was 3 AM in my part of the world but I did see reviews afterward.

Coverage of the coronation started where I live at 5am, so I DVRd it and watched here and there over the next couple of days. I love this type of history and I would have enjoyed the helicopters, too. That bird, too! Wonderful final photo.

I've seen a large scale fly past here in 2017 with the 150th anniversary of the country being founded.

Your own private fly past. It was a pity the weather prevented the full flypast.

Some people call them flying rats but it's a pigeon

The school I worked at was near the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and from time to time the Red Arrows flew over as they prepared for an air show,
