The gag! RCAF huh? likes to fly as much of its presentable hardware for the Battle of Britain parade. This year was no exception because the CF18 demo aircraft and a spare were on hand, the C130 banking and cranking, 8 of 9 Snowbirds (see 'em now before they bend all the remaining Tutors in the inventory, and warbird entrepreneur Michael Potter's 'collection'. That said, the Air Force is pretty busy with getting home from one war and bombing in another, not everything could be spared.

I'm told Potter had his Mustang, Spitfire and Hurricane in the air. A fourth Merlin was up when the Canadian Warbird Heritage's Lancaster flew. An eight Merlin symphony!
