Diamond Jubilee Flypast as seen from the Lancaster Bomber

Diamond Jubilee fly-past over London as seen from the Lancaster Second World War heavy bomber June 6, 2012

Released by the UK's Ministry of Defence, the following footage brings you on board an Avro Lancaster bomber of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight during the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee fly-past over Buckingham Palace on June 5.

The video was filmed from the Lancaster's nose bomb aimer position, located just below the Frazer Nash FN5 nose turret, and from the cockpit.

Enjoy the view of London  from the large transparent perspex nose cupola.

From the 7 May 2012, RAF Hawks practiced a taxing formation design to be flown as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Military Muster over Windsor castle on 19 May 2012. This video was filmed from "Ruby 4" - the lower part of the loop of the 'R'. I hope you enjoy watching it.
