"The Red Arrows because they are a professional display team they can work to greater weather limits than other aircraft."
"It's within the safety limits, it's right on the edge, which is why unfortunately we couldn't get the other aircraft," he said. He added that it was a "very difficult decision to remove some of the aircraft from the flypast" for safety reasons.Įxplaining why the helicopters could take part, Air Cdr Lyle said that they were able to fly at a lower height and have "slightly different rules when it comes to cloud base and how close to the weather they can get because of their slower speed". However, he said "to do that, you need the weather". He said it required getting all the aircraft to gather "in a safe place, which is the North Sea" before getting into formation to fly over Buckingham Palace. Other aircraft which did not take part included the joint RAF and Navy crewed state-of-the art F-35B Lightning jets the RAF’s brand-new P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft transport aircraft from the RAF’s Air Mobility Force and the RAF’s new Envoy IV CC1.Īir Commodore John Lyle said scaling down the flypast was a "very difficult decision".Īppearing on the BBC, he said that the flypast which was originally planned was "incredibly complex". The flypast as originally planned was ten times smaller than the one which flew over the Palace for Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953, in keeping with the King’s wish for a smaller, slimmed-down event. Members of the Royal family had gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the aircraft as they passed over The Mall and Green Park. In the initial plan, 68 aircraft were supposed to be divided into 14 separate waves, including Spitfires from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.īut the flypast, which took place at 2.30pm, was scaled back to helicopters and the Royal Air Force aerobatic team the Red Arrows, lasting two minutes and thirty seconds. The flypast of aircraft celebrating the King's Coronation today was scaled back due to poor weather, with most of the planned planes no longer taking part.
