The Battle of Britain Memorial Spitfire - we are pleased to welcome the Battle of Britain Memorial Spitfire who will be doing a flypast at 12 o'clock on Saturday.
Produced in greater numbers than any other British combat aircraft before or since the War, 20,400 Spitfires were built in 22 different variants and the aircraft remained in production for 12 years. The Spitfire played a major part in achieving ultimate victory in World War Two and truly deserves its place as probably the most successful fighter design ever, and certainly as the most famous and charismatic of all time.
James Dylan's Stunt World - we are pleased to welcome Stunt World to the Otterburn Festival. On both days Stunt World will perform two spectacular motorcycle shows that include Ramp Jumps, Wheelies, Stoppies and many more remarkable motorcycle stunts that need to be seen to be believed.
Members of the 39 Regiment Royal Artillery based at Albermarle Barracks will be bringing their Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) to the Otterburn Festival. Each Rocket has a range of 70 km and can be delivered to an accuracy of 5 meters. Launchers operate from concealed hides, fire their rockets and then relocate before the enemy can find them. In combat situations, guided rockets are being used to hit precision targets while safeguarding friendly forces and the local population.
We are once again pleased to welcome back the Northumberland Canine Centre and their display team. Over the years the team have impressed the crowds with their well behaved dogs doing agility and working trials displays. When they are not in the ring doing demonstrations the team will have a stand where they will be happy to chat to you.
RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team - after a spectacular display at the 2008 Otterburn Festival we are pleased to welcome back the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team. The 2011 will end in spectacular style (Weather permitting) when the RAF Falcons will parachute into the event ring.
