ROYAL NAVY BLACK CATS

The two Royal Navy AgustaWestland Wildcat helicopters, painted in black and grey, were among the special attractions of the flying display. The primary role of these helicopters is search and rescue or submarine warfare. Their agile handling also make them ideal for flying displays of the kind currently being performed over Schönefeld. This year’s display pilots were Lt Cdr David Lilly and Lt Chris Rebbeck.
