Yeah, that was a really great moment. The best last salute Bernhard could have

Help! I can't see a thing? Was it a Spitfire in the formation?

@White cap:

Yes, it was a formation of 3 F-16's and a Spitfire. Above the clouds were F16's number 4 and 5 as backup and number 6 (also backup) flew back to Volkel wenn the formation was in the air.

The Spit was flown by Ex General (Dutch Airforce) Macco.

But you mean you cannot see the movie?

A message from RAF.MOD.UK:-

"All the members of the Royal Air Force and Royal Air Forces Association were deeply saddened by the news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard. His friendship and close association with the Royal Air Force dated back to the dark days of 1940 when he accompanied The Queen into exile in London. His support, particularly of veterans' affairs, has been much appreciated, not least his involvement at so many of the Arnhem Commemorations over the years and as Patron of Royal Air Forces Association Netherlands since 1946. He will be greatly missed."

A salute to a great man.
