Mark Jefferies

EXTRA 330SC Aerobatics

The Global Stars team on the second visit to France in as many weeks. This time for an evening pyro and daytime show.

A superb bit of filming by Marc Talloen talloen.marc1@gmail.com at Albert Bray sunset airshow 2022. Look for Marc's filming my solo at Sanicol also.

To ski the valley blanche for the first time without a guide use common sense and pick the right day. Minimum equipment required is crampons, climbing harness, 20 meters approx of rope & emergency locator beacons.

Picking the day is of huge importance to an easy passage, hard snow, no wind, no clouds make it the easiest conditions for first time. Purists would want fresh powder snow 🙂

The walk from the ice cave door looking down can be terrifying for those used to a flat earth! In the winter months a ropeway is installed to help mitigate the 70' slope each side where a fall would be death unless roped to a partner prepared to jump the other side to your fall.

The hike down to the start area takes 20 - 30 mins.

Each cable car brings approx 30 skiers these soon disperse and you have this massive mountain valley virtually to yourself.

We are all waiting for the top gun sequel, its been delayed several times now. So..... we made our own :)

This being the 29th edition of our fund raiser. Many pilots and volunteers put in a lot of effort in the months leading up to the event. We thank them all.

Global Stars team with 4 ship pyro display

Pre pandemic a few people will have heard of the "Secret Garden Party" a weekend of music, camping, muddy fields (sometimes) and partying.
A smaller and very successful event with approx 400 ticket holders were held over 17/18th July 2021 named #mistressmary
Two aircraft of the #globalstars team flew a pyro show performing a first in the UK, a massive heart in the shy with the smoke and sparks of the pyro to massive applause.
The next pyro show is at #shuttleworth 14th August being a solo.
The full team of 4 is at #WestonPark on the 4th September, thats worth coming to see.

A few highlights for web site header

29th March we are permitted to fly for fun again. The team took the opportunity of a nice day to train for the upcoming air display season. Team leader Mark Jefferies, Chris Burkett (2), Steve Carver (3), Chris Heames (4)

17th March every year, St Patricks day

This needs no words to describe. So touching and moving. If it does not touch your feelings I don't know what will.

This is an example of why we put some much effort into the shows here.

The BBC annual Children In Need fundraising helps kids. Support in any way you can.

Flying the special tribute to Sean Connery today, 4th November over Cambridge where the airspace is unrestricted.

Mark, said: “I’m a big Bond fan and the films are spectacular. This promises to be the first blue-sky day since the original Bond died, and I want to show a little respect.”

Taking to the skies at 09:55 climbing to 10,000ft above the Cambridgeshire countryside takes just 5 mins. Todays wind is 320/ 15 meaning I will have approx 3/4 mile drift from start to finish from the north west. Take this into account for starting position to display the skyArt central over the city. airdisplays.com

Champion aerobatic pilot Mark Jefferies pays tribute to Sgt Matt Ratana, the policeman shot dead by a handcuffed man in Croydon police station on Sept 25, 2020.

After the policeman’s funeral on Nov 4, a memorial ceremony was held at East Grinstead rugby ground, where Matt was trainer. Mark obtained special permission to fly into strictly-controlled civil airspace to trail a thin blue line in the sky to honour Sgt Ratana, 54, and his colleagues who man the country’s thin line of law and order.

Mark, 62, who flies from Little Gransden, Cambs, said: “A friend was speaking about the Sergeant’s death and the heroic actions of the people who try to defend us every day. This was my way of paying tribute to him in recognition of his long career in the Met - and his comrades.” airdisplays.com
