Description At the aerial performances there was a huge variety of things to see including the AeroSuperBatics Ltd team performing as the Breitling Wingwalkers since their sponsorship with the Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling.

Founded in 1989 they have also performed as Team Guinot, Utterly Butterly Wing-Walking Display Team and Crunchie Wing-Walking Display Team in accordance with their sponsrs for those times.

The team uses 4 Boeing-Stearman Model 75 Biplanes which have been specially modified with a harness on the top wings so the wing-walkers can move from the front cockpit to the wing area and strap themselves in while the pilot sits in the rear cockpit.

The Model 75 is powered by 1 Continental R-670-5 7-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine, can reach an altitude of 13,200ft and a speed of 135mph.
