So 9 x 156 x 5 (based on a 5 minute display).

it was over 20 minutes by my reckoning and 7 planes:

7 x 20 x 156 = GBP21,840

a really excellent display !!

My mother said there were over 14000 gypsies recorded on the beach (she meant Pirates)

Rich.

Sorry. Forgot to add my numbers were a complete fabrication.

Although, if you accept my apologies and click 'ere http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3908187.stm t'would appear to cost round GBP7500 to hire them.

A bargain.
