The Programme

The team will assemble for the World Championships at the opening ceremony in Oklahoma City, on Sunday the 18th August. For the opening parade, the team are rumoured to be engaging the services of a Bulldog to act as team mascot and are determined to display their Battling British Spirit from the outset. Official Practice at the venue, Clarence E. Page Airport, will then begin on Monday 19th, and the contest will start on Wednesday 21st August, concluding on Friday 30th August. During the competition the team is being provided with a routemaster Red London bus for use as their competition base .This is intended both as a light hearted piece of nostalgia as well as a landmark for friends and supporters seeking respite from the fierce summer heat. The British Aerobatic Association wishes them well in the competition and has great expectations that each member will perform to the best of his/her ability .
