celebrate 90 years of the Royal Air Force Great Britain in London - London Flypast

The 1 April 2008 marks the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force and the RAF will be celebrating this important birthday with events throughout the year. And, for the first time, the Royal Air Force Red Arrows will fly in formation with 4 Typhoon aircraft along the River Thames to the London Eye– on our birthday, the 1st of April - giving Londoners the chance to see the flypast, whether they work or live in the East, the City or the West End of London.

The flypast is timed so that the formation will fly over the London Eye at 1 o’clock sharp. The RAF want to invite Londoners to come and see the spectacle of the Red Arrows and Typhoon aircraft in this unique formation – to celebrate our birthday and say thank you to all our airmen and women who have served on operations, both in the past and today. The flypast will start just south of London City Airport, before passing The O2, flying right past Canary Wharf, then past Wapping, over Tower Bridge, just south of Tate Modern, before overflying the London Eye at 1 PM. Once the formation has flown over the London Eye it will continue over the Ministry of Defence, Green Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
