Well everyday is a school day on here, there was me believing that it was a United Kingdom and Commonwealth combined effort. Hadn’t realised we owed so much to the Home Counties for their sacrifice for our freedom.
I didn’t, it’s a VE Day celebration which means it’s a celebration of the collective effort of all of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. If we’re using the most heavily attacked as the benchmark perhaps the fly past should be over Malta too.
By the time of VE Day, and for most of the war, the airfields of East Anglia and Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire etc were far more heavily involved due their relative proximity to Germany. Not much was happening over France by 1945.

Quite spoilt living between Coningsby and Waddington, get the Red Arrows, Typhoons and BBMF over us pretty often.
