Is it just me or was that a bit of a disappointment? A bit of spacing between formations would not have gone amiss!!!

there was 4 merlins but i think they came on lust as there was a few on there yesterday when she arrived but only one today. i thik g-xoil had the duke of york or who ever it was on it.
it was a nice flypast but too short in my opinion. the should of done a few sweeps of the river.
there was a griffin sbout aswel for most of the afternon before the others arrived. film crews might of been on it possibly

I felt they were too far away - tracked more in the middle of the mersey rather than over the carrier, good to see it though  I saw G-XOIL landing & presumed it was royalty on board too  Footage will appear later.......... |
