Every display starts with a Team briefing held by the leader….

….with everyone paying close attention to the myriad of details.

Ready to begin the show walkthrough, the team take time out to admire Jim’s bow tie!

Every display is walked through in the "dirt dive" to fixed the positions and routine in everyone’s mind.

The Team manager, Rupert Lyon, cuts a dashing figure at the Ball!

The Silver Eagles dropped in to open the show, four parachutists jumping from a Scout heliopter.

The lead parachutist carried the Army Air Corps flag.

Cuz then led the Team in for their display, flying backwards ahead of the Gazelles….

….before breaking up and over the Gazelles, an amazing beginning to the display.

The four Gazelles crossed over right on the centreline in the gathering dusk.

The Gazelles then break to depth, the second pair running striaght out, the lead pair perfoeming simultaneous 270 degree turns on either side of the incoming Lynx.

The Gazelles then reform and flypast in diamond formation.

The Gazelle against the setting sun.

Cuz runs in for his last pass, nose 90 degrees down, with the sun almost gone.

Sharon looked stunning at the Ball! Wot, no blue flying suit?

Jim landed his Gazelle at the Ball to give the crowd a closer look.

Deep in the woods, something stirred…..

….as the Apache came in to end the display. The Army Air Corps latest aircraft gives battlefield air power an entirely new edge.
