Memorial flight to the pilots. 40 Spits, Hurricanes and Blenheims in flight. Prince Harry gave up his seat to a veteran pilot – good on him! link I am surprised Tango missed this one! |

I am surprised Tango missed this one! Don't think he reads the British press. |

Good Job, Prince Harry! |

Damn, those are pretty planes. And, yes, good show, Prince Harry. |

BRAVO ZULU Your Highness! You are a worthy heir to the throne. Be Well Sir, the world needs more men and women like you. |

There is "Class", then there is "True Class"! Prince Harry and his brother Prince William always display a great measure of the later! |

Very nice article and thumbs up for Prince Harry. Although it is funny that even I as a foreigner could spot several spelling mistakes in the article :) |

Nice! Good to see the battle still remembered, planes still flying (and they look perfect ;)) and princes acting like they should. May be there's still a hope for your monarchy (well, no Charles III please….) |

@Tom Harry isn't the heir to the throne, he's only a distant spare. |

Think there's more pics of Harry than of aircraft, but there you go… No surprise about Harry, really. He's smart enough to know the screaming headlines if he'd gone, and left a 95 year-old veteran on the ground. But a good show all round by all. I wish most earnestly I could have seen it. |

Least he could have done really. Frankly I'm shocked that when a Royal fails to behave like a complete arse it is headline news. Maybe we have low expectations given their track record. I do sympathize with the Royal Family – we ask too much of them and that will only get worse. Time we retired them and the whole concept of monarchy. It's 2015 not 1520! |

Was fortunate to be working airside at Goodwood. Watched them all take off from 50metres…and I was getting paid…how cool is that? |

And not one flight over Kingston Upon Thames, If ever a place could be called the Home of the Hurricane, its Kingston (and parts of the old Factory remain in Canbury Park Road). |

I'm surprised there's still a Blenheim flying! |

Spontoon, That aircraft keeps crashing and being restored. It was originally a long-nosed Mk IV, but crashed in 1987 to be restored then crashed again in 2003, before being finally (?) restored as the short-nosed Mk I you see today. |
