Breitling Wingwalkers
The Breitling Wingwalkers are seen live by over six million spectators each year in the UK alone. They perform a breathtaking sequence of acrobatic manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the teams beautiful Boeing Stearman biplanes. The team y the aircraft through a well rehearsed energetic routine of dazzling aerobatics and close formation ypasts as the wingwalkers wave at the crowd. These manoeuvres include, loops, rolls, stall turns and even inverted ight! During all of this, the wingwalkers experience speeds of up to 150 mph and G forces of up to 4G!
Spitfire Mk IXB The most famous military aircraft of all time and one of the most beautiful ever built, the Spitre is perhaps chiey remembered as the symbol of the Battle of Britain. The Spitre was developed by Supermarine R.J Mitchell, and was the only British type in continuous construction throughout World War II. During WWII, thanks to constant improvements and modications, the Spitre was never outclassed as a short-ranged piston-engined interceptor apart from a brief period in 1941to1942, when it rst encountered the Focke-Wulf FW-190. When production nally ceased in 1949, more than 22,000 Spitres and Seares (the naval version of the Spitre) had been built in some 40 dierent variants. Mustang P-51D The P-51 was the most successful long-range ghter escort of World War II. The rst P-51s were
built with Allison engines; these aircraft were remarkable at low altitudes, but were considered under-powered and disappointing at higher altitudes. In late 1942 the P-51 was transformed when, in the UK, Rolls Royce Merlin engines were tested in place of the Allison. The Merlin, as used in the Spitre, was then licensebuilt by Packard in the USA and in 1943 was installed in the P-51B and C models. The Merlin made the 1944 P-51D, with its bubble canopy and six-guns, possibly the most beautiful and potent ghter of the time. The P-51Ds range was an incredible 2,055m (3,327km) with a level maximum speed of 437mph (703kph) at 25,000 feet; the max diving speed was 505mph (818kph). Its huge fuel capacity was 1,000 litres internally and 815 litres in drop tanks. Its service ceiling was 41,900 feet (12,800m). Red Bull Matadors The team is made up of one of the UKs most dynamic aerobatic teams, featuring top British pilots: Paul Bonhomme and Steve Jones. Paul and Steve have performed all over the UK and Europe, touring
China, Japan and the Middle East in the FAI World Grand Prix series: an aerobatic competition with solo and formation categories which has been running since 1997. The Matadors have scooped three gold and two silver medals in the formation category, including a Gold medal at the 2004 World Grand Prix in Al Ain, UAE. The Red Bull Matadors builds on Red Bulls considerable pedigree in air sports. Aerobatic ight is the domain of only the most experienced and talented pilots, with superior powers of mental focus. The Red Bull Matador display is designed to demonstrate the truly remarkable performance of the Sukhoi aircraft, ying in a variety of formation patterns.
