The French Air Force's aerobatic demonstration team. We saw them training in the south of France less than a week before this - later found out they are stationed at Salon-de-Provence, which explains why!

This year we weren't actually at the airbase to watch the show. Rather, we saw it from the other side of the Eden Estuary at the end of the West Sands. This gives a different perspective to the display, which is designed to be viewed by people on the base. In this shot you can clearly see that not only do the pilots have to concentrate on avoiding each other, but they also have to change their smoke colour at the point of crossing. Much respect!

Coming to the end of their display, this photo catches the team in V formation heading back to the base one last time. This photo shows them just off-shore from the end of the West Sands and Tentsmuir Sands (on the other side of the Eden Estuary).
