Country:  | Nice one. Is that a green maple leaf on the tail fin of the closest one?
I'm sure there's no Canadian connection at all, I'm just curious about it.  | |

Country: | It is a Maple Leaf, yes. "No.5 Squadron began as a ground-attack and army co-operation squadron and has as its badge design a green maple leaf on a white background. The maple leaf commemorates the Squadron’s close association with the Canadian Corps during the great battles on the Western Front in 1917 and 1918.".
The lower one is 11 Sqdn. and the front Lightning is from Lightning Training Flight (LTF) - all of which were based at RAF Binbrook.

Country: | They're flying over Spurn Point, near Hull. Which is at the mouth of the river Humber in case you nearly cared.
