56 Sqn performed a 9-ship flypast from Leuchars of Edinburgh, up to Dundee, Aberdeen and Kinloss earlier today, as part of their disbandment 'celebrations' (if that is the correct word).

Re: 56 Sqn
the very sad end of an era for me., i was on 229OCU when we changed over to 56 Sqn in 1992, and now I am on the parade on Tuesday when we die.
it will be with reluctance that I change over next week to the F'ing cocks

Re: 56 Sqn
Is there a site that recounts the history of Firebirds? (56 Squadron).

This makes me very sad when I think of the Firebirds Lightning display team from the early 60s. Progress I suppose... :-(
