Before leaving Middle Wallop there is a lot of work, especially paperwork, to be done.

During the transit, Rob and Cuz thoroughly check the aircraft prior to display.

Close up of one of the Gazelles landing at shows/shawbury.

RAF shows/shawbury is home to the Defence Helicopter Flying School, DHFS, which uses Single Squirrel and Bell 412 Griffins, seen here on the ramp.

Any air display includes waiting time. Here, Lord Richards demonstrates waiting with style!

The start of the display, as now usual, drew a round of applause from the crowd.

The four Gazelles cross as the Lynx pulls up through them, and astounding thing to see.

The Lynx performs several loops, backflips and rolls, an unusual and lively display that drew several ooohs and aaahs from the crowd.

The Gazelles form an inverted vic that the Lynx flies through, between the lower pair.

A perfect box flypast from the Gazelles.

The Gazelles during the utterly alarming crossover break!.

During the transit north, Cuz demontrates the fine flying qualities of the Lynx.

During the transit north, Keith captured this gazelle at high level, out of its usual environment, near the ground.

A Gazelle arriving at Newcastle airport, an odd sight among the airliners!
