    There were 894 RAF aviators taking part in the ceremony for the Coronation on 6 May 2023,RAF aviators will be on Parade, with hundreds more supporting behind the scenes, including drill instructors, medics, police, drivers, transport managers, armoury staff, chefs, and caterers.
    140 RAF musicians are playing a key role in the Coronation celebrations.
    An 80 piece Band made up of personnel from The Central Band of the RAF, the Band of the RAF Regiment, the Band of the RAF College and the Band of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, will march during the procession

    The Royal Air Force Queen's Colour Squadron became the King's Colour Squadron by royal decree from 27 October 2022.
    A new King’s Colour for the Royal Air Force was produced and consecrated at Buckingham Palace on 27 April 2023

    Colours were used as rallying points on the battlefield, helping troops locate each other and avoid becoming disoriented. The King’s Colour for the Royal Air Force was approved by King George VI in 1947. The Colour is of RAF light blue silk, with light blue and silver tassels and fringe
    The Coronation flypast will feature aircraft from across the UK Armed Forces. From the RAF there will be several models of helicopter, Spitfires, a Lancaster, Hurricanes, 18 Typhoon FGR4s, an Envoy IV and many more from our fleet, covering the past, present and future of the RAF.
    It will feature the first flypast involvement of the RAF’s new Envoy IV CC1 aircraft which will lead the 9 Hawks from the Red Arrows, the RAF’s Aerobatics Team, to conclude the flypast.

    The Military show in the back yard of Buck House was great, something new and so well done.
    But this was the British Military, and when it comes to precision actions such as this there are none finer.

    Thank you Marion for your posting, excellent as always.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
