Chipmunks, Harvards and sailplanes. There was also a Canberra, Venom, Hawker P.1052 and Vickers 510. Formation aerobatics were performed separately by Vampires and Meteor teams and there was a re-enactment of the attack on Amiens prison by Mosquito bombers. There was a flypast by Sunderlands, Dakotas, Hastings, U.S.A.F. Superfortresses and Lincoln bombers from 15 different squadrons who simulated a WW2 bombing raid. The ‘Helicopter Circus’ included the Westland Hoverfly and the show concluded with a display by veteran aircraft.
