THE centrepiece of the Royal Air Force’s VE Day anniversary celebrations did not even participate in World War Two, it has emerged.
The Royal Air Force’s aerobatic display team once again hogged attention during a VE Day flypast despite not forming until roughly 20 years after hostilities ceased and being show-off pricks.
Spectator Martin Bishop said: “We didn’t win the war with red, white and blue smoke trails. In any actual theatre of combat that would be a massive liability.
“Try doing formation flying over the Ruhr Valley in 1945 and the Luftwaffe would have made mincemeat of you, no matter how impressive your tornado manoeuvre is. And to be honest I’d be cheering them on.
“This is an affront to the real heroes of the war who did their jobs quietly and with a minimum of barrel rolls. You wouldn’t find a Lancaster bomber looping the loop. But these pushy bastards have squeezed them and their centenarian pilots out of history.
“If the VE Day celebrations featured Concorde or Thunderbird 2 the media would lose their minds, yet somehow these flash bastards are allowed free reign.”
Veteran Norman Steele said: “They’re a national disgrace, just like Captain Tom. I wish Hitler had won so I didn’t have to look at them.”
