The Blades looked like they were struggling to keep up with her and hold formation at times. Was it windy for the display ?
The problem Mr Knees is that the Blades top speed is right at the bottom of 558s drag curve so there is very little room for manoeuvre, if flying into a head wind I suspect they would struggle keep up...
