It was 'ArmyAir574' XZ326 that brought Red 10 on Sunday.

Gazelle 2ship - 'Mongoose' formation brought Red 10 in on Saturday.Don't know the regs :(

The shot of the smoking Lynx isn't an oncommon sight, as the Gem turboshaft engines they use tend to leak a lot of oil through heir Labyrinth seals on start up and shut down, it happens because the seals use bleed air pressure from the engines to work, therefore they dont work too well when there isn't enough bleed air pressure like at low or zero rpm. As I say only a guess as I wasn't there. Nice shot though.

Ahhh so the usual Gazelle did bring Red 10. I was mystified how nothing obvious had brought him in. I guess the Tennis courts were full up and the beach wasn't really an option like previous years.

Hi iglide, that was some fantastic flying, i have never seen a glider do that kind of acrobatics, and a brilliant landing on the beach.
