Today's the official opening by HM.

Supposed to be a fly-past by RAF Tornadoes too at some point!

Ah, that explains the low-flying jet I heard just a wee while ago! But 
what relevance do Tornado jets have to the RBS?

In the day to day business of banking probably very little, but they were 
all part of the ceremonials for the official opening, I gather. Bit like 
when Concorde and the Red Arrows flew across Princes Street on the occasion 
of the opening of the Scottish Parliament - all done for maximum fanfare!

I daresay RBS might have had to fund the ceremonials themselves, including 
the air show? They've a bob or two!
