This year also will see some unique choreographed flying from aircraft once based at RAF Church Fenton, which was once home to the very first “Eagle Squadron” of American pilots flying Brewster Buffalos before converting onto Mk1 Hawker Hurricanes and where once the Gloster Gladiator reigned supreme.
