With displays by the BBMF's Lancaster and flying fortress Sally B from Duxford and World War II fighters including a Mustang and a P-40 Kittyhawk. Through to the precision flying of the Royal Navy's Black Cat display team, Team Guinot with their wing walkers and moving things along to faster Aircraft, the usual polished display by the Royal Air Force display team, The Red Arrows. Finally a very noisy and fast display by the Typhoon from RAF Coningsby.
