The Lynx positioned to begin the display in bright sunshine….

….before backing through the diamond of Gazelles, drawing an audible gasp from the crowd!

A spot-on synchronised pair of Elphinsotne loops from Kav and Terry made a perfect smoke trail in the sky.

Ray and Richie maintained the high standards with perfectly centered loops and backflips.

The four-way Gazelle cross was right on centerline, and extremely close!

As was the crossover break! This shows how difficult it is to photograph this manouevre, one tenth of a second late, and here is what you get!

Meanwhile, the stand was doing roaring trade in the massive crowd. The whole seafront was quite literally full.

The Team then returned to meet the fans. Here a young visitor asks Julie what its like to fly helicopters.

Richie hard at work signing posters surrounded by fans of the Team.

Daniel and Darcey from Southend were delighted to meet Julie and the Team.

Colin Dunscombe was obviously pleased with the reception the crowd gave the Blue Eagles, not to mention the popularity of the new brand merchandise.

Such was the demand for the new poster, the whole Team sat in on a single mass signing session to satisfy the needs of the fans.
