Advice needed on display team

Hi Shumba,why dont you contact the Air Atlantique classic flight www.classicflight.com, 0870 330 4747 , for some info or help they fly a large collection of historic aircraft inc jets and have flown aircraft over London before and might be willing to paint an aircraft such as a Dakota in a film livery, they painted two in camoflage colours for a poppy drop over London for rememberance day last year.

Thank you

Thank you for these – should be a great help. I’m not holding out much hope for flying over London but we’ll see how close we can get.

Isn’t central london a no-fly zone? Heard this somewhere, don’t know if its true ‘cus of airliners from Heathrow e.t.c

try www.hunterteam.com at raf scampton they hire out and are allways looking for bookings or work for the hunters dragline in nottinghamshire uk

Hi Shumba, welcome to the forum.

It depends what you want to do, really. A jet formation display team will do something completely different to an old-fashioned skywriter flying a biplane. And there will be a huge difference in costs too.

I’m sure that there are some folk on here who are involved with film work, but in the meantime you might want to contact some of these people:

http://www.ofmc.co.uk/
http://www.historicaircraftcollection.ltd.uk/
http://www.sallyb.org.uk/
http://www.ml407.co.uk/

I’m sure there are others who would be happy to discuss film work, but they’re the ones that roll off the top of my head at the moment.

Hope that helps…
