by the current and 9 times British aerobatic champion (ADV & UNL) Mark Jefferies
has spectacular manoeuvres, tumbles, spins in the "Extra 300s" leaving pilots
saying "how did he do that?" An air display, your audience will not
forget. No show too large or small to attend. Weddings and private parties
a specialty and also its not as expensive as you might first think.

A brief note on my flying experience. I started flying in 1980 & have

Hawk. I now have approximately 3000 hrs experience. British
aerobatic champion at all levels throughout the years, British Aerobatic team
member 10 times. Air display flying started in 1984 and now I have flown
shows in numerous a/c around Europe and have flown by invitation in Australia &
New Zealand. In 1997 I flew in the southern hemisphere Reno race,
Tasmania. I hold a BCPLwith
Display authorization issued by the CAA giving display permission to 30 ft fly
past and 50ft unlimited aerobatics in group A & B aircraft. For the L-29
jet and YAK 11 the minimum heights are 100ft fly past and 200ft aerobatics.
Formation qualified as leader of large formations flying with the Aerostars for
4 years in number 2, 4, 6 & 7 positions, also I have flown as a stunt

If the skies are blue your show can be opened or closed
with the smiley. Love heart's a specialty for weddings. ( Quicker to do so blue
skies not essential.)
