Here are the shots I got of the eggbeaters on display:

...
The Chinook coming out of a dive - for such a large helicopter the display was amazing, the pilots really threw it around up there!

...
Here it is again going into a dive - the pilot would climb nearly vertically, push the Chinook over the top and dive down.

...
The Blakc Cats Lynx's hovering - shortly after this they each turned inwards and performed the cross which you see in almost every picture that's taken of them Grin

...
Here's the Lynx again making a sharp turn.

...
This was an interesting couple - a Merlin and a Westland Wasp! They flew in together (as above) then performed a solo routine.

...
Here's the Merlin performing - again for such a large aircraft the pilots certainly know how to fly them!

...
The Merlin again, this time hovering.

...
The Merlin, only this time quite high.

...
And here's the Westland Wasp. Odd looking thing and a very interesting display. The pilot managed to fly the thing forwards, backwards, sideways - he did all sorts with it. A good display from that one!

Next up - the jets!

The Merlin is one ferocious beast! I've seen it's capabilities in a docu a while ago...

Were those Lynx's Dutch? I saw a couple of them comming over on friday in Belgium, heading West...

No, they're the Royal Navy's Black Cats display team.

Nice shots, we had the RAN squirrels performing which is cool because they do very close up formation and flips and all sorts of stuff very nice heli's Smiley Also we had the aussie armys Tiger, Blackhawks and Iroqoius(HUEY) all doing a display at the same time it was really really kool i also think that had the Seaking up there  Wink
