At the Farnborough Airshow in 1958 the Black Arrows aeorbatic team of No. 111 Squadron RAF (with the aid of No. 56 Squadron) performed a 22 aircraft formation loop in Hawker Hunters (21 F.6 and one T.7 leading the formation) . I believe this is still a record.
Does anyone know where I can find a picture of this event?

111 Sqn were temporarily based at RAF North Luffenham, North Weald and Wattisham during that period.

Some pictures can be found at the RAF website. Unfortunately I c can't find any with the full 22, although I'm sure I have a magazine somewhere with photos of the entire 22 and if I find it I will post the piccies. Here's a few that I had previously downloaded:-

1959 Farnborough as well...

Wow!
Nexx you've just supplied my new wallpaper, thanks!

Someone is working on a Hunter for Strike Fighters: I' might have to put a Black Arrows skin on it
