The Blue Eagles and Army Historic Aircraft Flight in the opening flypast.

The Blue Eagles lead the flypast in five arrow formation.

The crossover break caused an audible gasp in the crowd!

Neil and Dave begin their part of the display with a pedal turn towards the crowd.

Al and Al in the synchronised pedal turns….

….after which the four Gazelles cross at crowd centre….

….and then pull up in pairs to perform synchronised 270 degree turns. Here Grant and Jim are in close!

Neil and Dave then take centre stage for a backflip….

….and a loop.

The Gazelles also reach some extreme attitudes during the display, here Jim goes over the top of the heart….

….before crossing with Grant at the bottom of the manoeuvre.

A close up of Neil, Dave and Al in reverse vic shows how close the formation is.

Neil and Dave flew superbly….

….through large, smooth loops.

The Gazelles matched their accurracy as Al and Al….

….followed by Jim and Grant, flew excellent bunts.

The finale corkscrew was the best yet….

….as the four Gazelles pull….

….into Elphinstone loops….

….around the Lynx.

The stand stayed busy, with Jon offering explanations as Paula distributed posters….

….and John explained the controls of the Gazelle to many delighted visitors.
