As shot by my brother on September 15th 1990 at Abingdon. The RAF operation named 'Flypast', was the biggest formation seen in British skies since the end of WWII.

A stream of 168 aircraft in huge formations overflew Buckingham Palace to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. This was the formation as it passed over Abingdon.
