Blue Eagles Team Displays – Goodwood Festival of Speed – 6th, 7th and 8th July 2001Thunderstorms rattled windows across the South on Saturday night, so consequently Sunday began cooler than the previous days, unfortunately still just as cloudy. However, the cloud started to break, and by lunchtime, it was a beautiful summers day with a cool breeze to keep the worst of the heat off. The racing continued in fine style, and congratulations to Nigel Cooper, one of the Mercedes S300 cars he had restored won its class. Motorbikes, cars and, would you believe, soap-box carts, made their way around the circuit in the varying classes and heats, filling the air with thunder and a tang of exhaust more redolent of a jet air show than anything else. The display took place at 13:00 hours and was just perfect. Described by Colin, the Team Manager as the best display he’d seen this year, it was an absolute corker. The air and ground crew spent the rest of the afternoon at the stand, signing autographs and talking to fans of the Team. The helicopters formed up over Goodwood at 19:00 for the transit home in soft evening light, as caught in the pictures below.
