Description
English: A Hurricane aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight soars over Buckingham Palace and crowds celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The picture was taken from the rear of the lead Lancaster bomber aircraft.

The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Red Arrows saluted Her Majesty The Queen on the celebration of her Diamond Jubilee on Tuesday 5 June.

Officer in Command of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Squadron Leader Ian Smith said:

“The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are honoured to be leading the Flypast for Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

“As a Service the RAF is enormously proud of its heritage, and the opportunity to fly over Buckingham Palace for Her Majesty with the nation’s aviation heritage is something that will remain with us for the rest of our lives”.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (originally named simply the Historic Aircraft Flight) was founded in 1957 to commemorate the personnel of the Royal Air Force who have served their country in conflict, particularly during World War Two.
