The 2004 Team Displays – Biggin Hill – 18 & 19 September 2004

The second day of the show brought improved weather. With the triumph of the previous day bouying everyone’s spirits, the display from both Army Teams was quite superb. The rotary section were able to depart early, and were accompanied by the Blue Eagles for a photo-opportunity on the way home. A successful weekend of full displays was crowned by the tremendous achievement of the Shell Trophy.
