A group of seven aircraft were seen flying twice over a Nottinghamshire village as they marked the unveiling of an RAF memorial. A statue dedicated to those who served at the former RAF Newton base was first unveiled during a ceremony on April 23.
A flypast had been due to take place as part of the celebrations but bad weather conditions meant this was delayed. But six Chipmunks and one Bulldog were able to make the journey on Thursday (April 27).
The statue has been built at the Newton Garden Village, a development of more than 500 new homes which is located on the former RAF Newton Airfield. Tim O'Brien, who was an Air Cadet at RAF Newton in the 1980s, is now an artist living in Bingham and has designed the recently-unveiled statue.
