I have only ever seen two of your displays, the first was at Sandown and I was blown away by it. You opened with a topside pass if I remember rightly, which for the photographers is a delight!
High-speed passes also sound great, but as always safety should be paramount especially with that particular Centaurus.

Back at Yeovilton Air Day 1986 (I was four!!!) the RNHF displayed the Swordfish solo, and as it finished its slot the ‘Fly, ‘Fury and Sea Hawk began running in together.
The video footage I acquired does make a good sight and sound.
Sadly the Fly and its crew are no longer with us, but the Seafire and/or Skyraider I’m sure would also make a pleasant noise.

A pairs fly-by with the Sea Hawk is always a good way to begin a display as well, with both machines then displaying solo.
