In 2008 there was a fly past of 30 rotorcraft (assorted):

In the words of Max Boyce: "I Was There".

There were 30 mixed helicopters in the flypast, not 30 Gazelles!

The weather was excellent as well. The fixed wing element struggled a bit with a strong cross wind but the rotary contingent looked excellent.

A great day out.
