Last month, yours truly, inadvertently mesmerized until 6 a.m., watched the entire wedding of William and Kate, the now-titled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The millions of Royal enthusiasts who thronged along the royal wedding route, the expansiveness of Westminster Abbey and the pomp and tradition of the Brits were spellbinding. The most impressive moments, however, were the flyovers (or “flypast” by those on that side of the pond) of the mall leading to Buckingham Palace. Something old. The first flyover consisted of three warbirds from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) museum: a Lancaster PA474 in the lead, flanked by a Spitfire on left wing and a Hawker Hurricane LF363 on the right wing! The Lancaster is one of only two still flying (the other is the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). The Hurricane is one of only 12 in airworthy condition worldwide. Something new. Thirty seconds later, a “Diamond 4” formation, consisting of two Eurofighter Typhoons and two Panavia Tornado GR4s, ripped through the sky over Westminster. The Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, combat aircraft, designed and built by a consortium of three companies: Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems, and EADS which formed a holding company, Eurofighter GmbH, in 1986.
