Unfortunately the display has to be rather further away than at a normal airshow as the flightpath from RWY27 of East Midlands airport goes directly over the track. The display has to be performed in the breaks between traffic.

An interesting fact ......... The first aircraft made by DeHaviland used half of a Renault V8 engine as there were no other suitable engines available.
