It's certainly more interesting than the old Dead Sparrows 58 minute display. :rolleyes:

I'd never have thought a kite could be landed. I just goes to show how wrong one can be!

Beautiful!

I'd like at this point to post about the little known and unfunded 'Black Sparrows' display team formed at RAF Machrihanish in about 1983. With 4 highly/partially trained LTech/Mech AFs on a motley collection bicycles. They had Vics, Line abreasts /stern, alternate breaks - the full routine, and displayed at about 5.10pm daily as they traveresed the parade square on the way home. - Winter and high wind days excepted.
Sadly footage no longer exists:{
