>A little over three years ago Red Bull invaded Longleat with a air-show spectacular involving 13 stunt pilots, putting their aircraft through the most amazing and graceful maneuvers, competing against the clock over a pre-set course. I applied for tickets not intending to go, and was fortunate enough to be allocated one. However, I did not go, instead passing on the ticket to a then work colleague more interested in the day out.

Now, on my travels in Australia, I happen to be in Perth for one of this years events, taking place by and large on the Swan River. It’s quite something to watch as these guys seemingly do the impossible, flying what looks barely 10ft above the water, twisting and spining between the course gates. The actual event is tomorrow, but today is pre-race trials, so given I’m leaving in the morning it has been a great way to spend my final afternoon here in Perth. Best of all its a free event!
