The team currently consists of 7 full time members, and a number of Associates who participate with the team on an as and when basis, all are long time aero modelling enthusiasts. Each team member has individual skills and abilities, which when put together form a very successful team. The following pages will provide an introduction to the 7 full time team members by way of a short individual profile. A selection of the models that the team fly is also detailed, these are predominantly the models used for displays. New displays are continually being derived, so if you have a specific request we would be more than happy to discuss it with you.
