Great War Display Team
The Great War Display Team
The Great War, now more frequently called the First World War, raged from 1914 to 1918, and saw the development of air power from small beginnings to the vital tool of any battle that it was to become. The aircraft used were designed without the benefit of aerodynamic knowledge, were primarily made of wood and fabric, and were driven by unreliable and underpowered engines - the petrol engine only being some 20 to 30 years old in 1914. The average age of the pilots was 20 years, and they usually went to the Front with less than 20 hours total flying time. Nevertheless, these pilots took their aircraft to above 20,000 feet without oxygen, and fought the first massed aerial battles - the “dogfight”.
The years of the Sky Knights are recreated for your display by the Great War Display Team. In an exhilarating display of some 12 to 15 minutes, you will see the sky is filled with up to 10 aircraft as the allied aircraft tussle with their German counterparts for control of the air. Bombs are dropped and aircraft shot down, departing the scene trailing smoke. The whole exciting spectacle takes place immediately in front of the crowd, and the aircraft are in sight and sound throughout the display - never being more that 1,000 metres from display centre.Equally, less aircraft can be provided, and their display tailored to suit your specific requirements and timing. The aircraft also provide an interesting and colourful sight on the ground, as a static item both before and after their aerial battles. Ground troops can be provided to give a realistic recreation of a Great War aerodrome for your spectators to visit.

Bucker Jungmeister
Bucker Jungmeister
The throaty roar of a 185hp Warner Scarab radial engine and the evocative period colour scheme of the 1937 German State Flying Association, coupled with a powerful smoke system, makes this Jungmeister an eye catching airshow performer. Exhibiting grace and power, it performs a series of elegant manoeuvres close to the crowd, including a demonstration of the signature flicking ability of this renowned aeroplane. Compact design and precise handling means the Jungmeister can perform close to the crowd at all times, in permanent view, without the need for zoom lenses or binoculars! It is also a photogenic addition to any flight line display. Based in the Thames Valley, the aeroplane is within quick and easy reach of most venues. The Jungmeister has recently completed an engine rebuild and is gearing up for the 2011 season.
