I saw this tonight while sat in the garden, not often you see 3 flying together :dance: , all 3 did a formation flypast then the one with the red tail peeled off and did a fast pass :dance:

Wow, any chance Tonks could come down my way and do that? (I bet he'll deny flying any of those three

)

Nice flypast and thanks for posting the pics

I do hope so, but the RIAT website doesn't list any VC10s being there :shock:

Great pics, thanks for posting those.

It was for the VC10's 40th birthday bash in the officers mess. There are no aircraft from brize at RIAT this year, they are all tasked with more important things :sad:

Yup.. and Tonks really wasn't flying any of those though I'm sure he'd have jumped at the chance.. and who wouldn't

I know Dave, hes already told me he doesnt do displays

I think hes a bit "camera shy" when flying...

Still with the advent and popularity of sites like airliners.net, pilots are probably worried that their duff touchdowns and the like will get recorded for posterity and beamed around the net!
