BRITISH ARMED FORCES TO STAR IN DUXFORD'S VE ANNIVERSARY AIR SHOW
The show, at the Cambridgeshire airfield, will be the biggest commemorative event of its kind in the UK marking the end of the Second World War. All the armed forces will take part to reflect their contribution to the final Allied victory in 1945. The Blue Eagles Army Air Corps Helicopter Display Team will perform their thrilling aerobatic display on both days, showing the remarkable agility of their five helicopters. The Royal Air Force will dominate the modern aviation element of the show. Many of the Air Force's current front line types will take part including the Hercules, Tornado jet, Hawk and Merlin. In addition, the RAF Falcons parachute team will remind the crowds of the role played by Allied paratroops during the Second World War.
The modern Royal Navy will be represented at the air show by the remarkable Sea Harrier jump jet. The aircraft, more use to operating from aircraft carrier decks at sea, will be sure to thrill the crowds.
