Nice ones Dec. Overall how long did the flying display last? Was there long periods between displays?

The Reds kicked things off around 1415. Their show lasted around 25 minutes and then each of the follow-up aircraft came in straight away. No gaps between displays. In fact when the Skyraider arrived to do its display after the P-51 the two of them joined up and did several laps of the arena. I have shots of the Riva team display and will post them later.

All in the display was complete by 1545.

Thanks for the info,

The flying display started at 2.15pm with the Red Arrows and finished around 3.35. There was a few minute delay between each display. The other displays were holding in the area to come in when needed. Jeff Salter was Display Director so it all ran smoothly.
