CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS

Looking ahead to the season’s major RAF 100 events BEN DUNNELL 2018 promises to be the busiest year ever for the Great War Display Team, given the 100th anniversaries of both the RAF and, in November, the armistice that marked the end of the First World War. It will see the team’s replica aircraft performing on both sides of the Channel. “The full schedule is around 40 displays this season”, says team leader Gordon Brander, who flies the Sopwith Triplane.
