'The Blades' aerobatic display team Press Release
Blades drop in full throttle to 3rd Round of Grand Prix
As the world watched the 3rd Round of the FIA Formula One Grand Prix in Bahrain, something extra special and never seen in Bahrain before, let alone above an International Racing Circuit, took up poll position before the race.
The Blades, the UK’s only commercially run full time formation aerobatic display team set the race off to a throttled fuelled start. In their Extra 300 LPs the Team ducked and dived performing their aerobatic display to an international audience of innovative motor machines.
“Displaying above the Bahrain International Circuit was incredible” said Team Leader and former Red 1 Andy Offer “the views were fantastic and it was an honour to be able to showcase British skill abroad”.
The two month deployment of The Blades has proved to be a fantastic training ground for The Team as they have not been hindered by the weather. The rumours flying around about the display this year are for it to include formation Stall turns and Lomchevats!!!
The Blades will arrive back in the UK just in time to start the summer season. The first opportunity to see their new display is at Southend Air Show on the 27th and 28th May.
The Blades will also be running a competition throughout the summer for 24 people to win a flight with the formation team. Details to follow or alternatively keep an eye on the website www.2excelaviation.com for news on how to enter.
