After the Formation landing disaster of 1861 the
#RAFLuton Navy wanted in on the Display Team action and formed The Runway Boats, the average display lasted over 4 days! Here they can be seen in their famous Triangle formation!pic.twitter.com/SvaUWJecFt

The #RAFLuton Navy then formed a submarine Display Team but it was a disaster as spectators couldn't view the underwater part of the display. Here the team can be seen performing the Synchro Split. The team were disbanded after half a display!pic.twitter.com/EgtnEz6LQP

Hate to correct you, but the photo actually depicts the submarines attempting to perform the more challenging Serpentine Maneuver, which was abandoned when it was discovered it was impossible to perform during rip tides.

One of the few that held my breath long enough to see the underwater demonstrations. Absolutely breath taking...no really.
