The Boscombe Down Harriers were (ex?) 41(R) machines - ZD437/EB-J, ZG501/EB-Q and ZG857/EB-Z, I think, and they did a flypast over Farnborough.

Not to be confused with the canx flypast over the Ark Royal.

The Flypast over her Majesty and HMS Ark Royal was not cancelled, Mrs Windsor was half way up the gangplank when they flew over as the jets had been called in early! ;)
