In June 1968, as part of the celebrations for the RAF's 50th "birthday", 31 RAF Qualified Instructors flew a formation flypast in the shape of EIIR when viewed from the ground.

This film shows the chaps taxying, taking off, practicing & landing. The footage shows aircraft from 1 FTS based in Linton-On-Ouse , 2 FTS based in Syerston, 3 FTS based in Leeming & 6 FTS based in Acklington.

All these instructors were based at RAF Gaydon for about a week & practiced the formation from there. I assume the film was shot at Gaydon..
