THOSE magnificent men in their flying machines have been taking to the air over the kingdom in readiness for tomorrow’s Bahrain International Airshow.

This amazing photograph was taken from an on-board camera fixed to one of the UK-based SWIP team’s single-seater Silence Twister aircraft as pilots Peter Wells and Guy Westgate practiced an aerial display above Sakhir Airbase.

Full details of the show are in the Leisure Guide on Page 8.
