Paris drop-outs are among many aerospace companies that will be present at two major events in the UK this year.

Unusual flypasts have become a feature of the RIAT show. Last year, the Hawks of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows appeared together with the leaders of four other jet aerobatic teams: the Breitling Jet Team (an L-39); the Patrouille de France (an Alpha Jet); the Al Fursan team from the UAE (an MB-339A); and the Patrouille Suisse (an F-5E).
