This aerobatic display team which entertained the Queen on her 80th birthday, kicked off the Beckhams' pre-World Cup party and were part of Bahrain's first airshow in May 2007. Known as The Blades, the team is made up of four ex-Red Arrows pilots Andy Offer, Dave Slow, Andy Evans and Myles Garland. The display includes loops, rolls, opposition passes and breathtaking tumbles - all while travelling only a few feet apart at speeds of up to 220 knots. The Blades use Extra 300 LP aircraft which exert pressure of up to 10G on the pilots due to the speeds at which they fly. last updated: 04/08/2008 at 15:41 SEE ALSOYou are in: Guernsey > In Pictures > Air Display > The Blades |
