Typhoon fighter jets and the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows will swoop low over Buckingham Palace on Sunday as Falklands veterans gather to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the war.
The flypast by 49 aircraft over central London forms part of a national event to remember those who helped recapture the South Atlantic islands from Argentine forces in 1982.

Hundreds of veterans will march down the Mall past Prince Charles, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Chancellor Gordon Brown and other senior political and military figures.
Margaret Thatcher, who as prime minister at the time of the invasion ordered the dispatch of a force to reclaim the disputed islands, is also due to attend.

Speaking of the Red Arrows...
I was standing in the Q for Muse at Wembley yesterday and guess who flew past? Also saw the Lancaster (with Spit. support) at the Nimrod with (Tornado?) support. Granted it was all from a distance, but it made the wait that bit more interesting.

Could it have been these guys (http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6760000/newsid_6760300/6760395.stm?bw=nb&mp=wm), perchance?

I always imagined that Terran-Vasudan War bombers would have carried something like the Exocet.

Might have explained why the TV war was at a standstill if both sides were armed with the equivalent of a missile that failed to explode on two of the three occasions it hit British shipping. :D
