“This is a concert with synchronised flying rather than a flying display with music,” said Ross Mallock, horn player, chairman of the Salisbury symphony orchestra and formerly a colonel in the Army Air Corps. “What you see in the air is very carefully matched with what you hear.

Mr Mallock launched his concerts to prove that music and aviation can be mutually complementary
