The Sharks (Royal Navy)
They initially flew six red Westland Gazelle helicopters, with aircraft and pilots drawn from 705 Naval Air Squadron based at RNAS Culdrose (HMS Seahawk), Cornwall.The "Sharks" display routine was renowned for mixing together a range of different manoeuvres, comprising close formation, synchronised, opposition and solo flying.The display typically lasted for 10-12 minutes, and was highlighted by the use of distinctive mix of red and green smoke.The team operated successfully for the best part of two decades, appearing at airshows and events around the UK and near Europe.[1] They were regulars at the largest shows such as the International Air Tattoo, Farnborough Airshow, as well as Royal Navy-organised events and the British Grand Prix.
