Wings Graduation Parade Flypast - Diamond 9 - 8 Texans and a Spitfire

As part of the end of the Wings Graduation Parade, the RNZAF usually do a flypast. This year the announcement came with a big surprise. The RNZAF announcement that they had decided to fly the diamond nine formation, it wasn't the biggest news. It was the announcement that Brendon Deere's Spitfire PV270 would join eight RNZAF  T-6C Texan II's in the formation. Once the flypast was completed, then PV270 would enter into a solo display.
