The Queen and Prince Philip toured the Airfield, inspecting the many aircraft assembled there and meeting members of the Aircrews. ® The day ended with a fly-past of the many types of planes operational in the Royal Air Force today. The first to fly through were 'Jet Provosts' in the formation of the numbers 25. ® The Review ended with a display by the RAF's world famous aerobatic team the 'Red Arrows'.
