Hi all.

We at MaPs had a great treat today in the shape of 558 paying us a visit on her way to Silverstone.We did not know about it until just before it happened so was a real treat.She did four flybys over 655 so we would like to thank all concerned.Great stuff. :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Thanks, Cluny!

Reminds me of Mama Duck and her little 'uns!

Nice Video Paul. ;)

The Blades looked like they were struggling to keep up with her and hold formation at times. Was it windy for the display ?
