Thanks for sharing the link Ian! I have been watching all the internet aviation photo and video sites when the practice flights started last Friday but never saw this site.
I hope one day to witness the Victory Day Parade in person.

So true Stiz, regardless of our differences before and since WW2, they were a vital ally during those dark years. Arguably, they suffered more hardships both at the hand of the Nazi's and absorbing horrendous conditions to eventually help the allied effort to achieve victory. I speak for no one else but myself, but on a day such as this one, I would easily cast aside my differences(past or present) to have been there to share in that celebration. I envy their national pride to put on a patriotic display on such a scale.
