I too saw  the dancing Vixens in 1968 and was mightily impressed. You'd not expect to see aircraft of that size behaving as they did!!

Even more amazing was the Scimitar team flown by 807 NAS. They did a six aircraft take-off and their routine included a singleton picking up a banner from the airfield with an extension fitted to its arrestor hook and the first ever 'Twinkle Roll', in Scimitars! To cap it all they landed all six of the aircraft at once, two from one end of the runway and the other four from the OPPOSITE end, the pair folding their wings en route to make a gap big enough for the others to get through!  :o :o

Which just goes to prove that SENIOR service pilots are eminentaly superior to thier Crab Air counterparts.. :mellow: :mellow: :mellow: :mellow:

Or have absolutely no sense of self preservation :o

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Landing a huge beast like the Scimitar on a carrier the size of Formidable or Ark Royal doesn't exactly square off with that.

FRADU had their own Hunter display team.
I hope that your Hawks aren't using the Mark10 ejector seats!!

now, was this the Blue hawk displayed on the Aerobatic sig what if themed display at Telford?
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
