My Mum, who lives near Shaftesbury and always looks up at aircraft (I trained her well), told me she saw a pair of aircraft performing aerobatics at the Gold Hill Fair (early July?).

Anyone know what they were? She described them as silver with red wing tips, but she couldn't tell me how many wings. However, she was really impressed by the smoke heart they created during the display :)

I'm just guessing but could they have been the two Sukhoi SU-26M2 aircraft (G-IIZ (http://www.richardflagg.fotopic.net/p30319225.html) & G-IIIS) of the Red Bull Matadors Display Team. I may be wrong but they are the ones that springs to mind.

Could also be a couple of the Yak's based at Compton Abbas which is very close to Shaftsbury
