Notes:

The Sharks were the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm's display team, flying Westland Gazelle helicopters.

This video includes views from within the cockpit and from the ground. Its first part seems like a Sharks display rehearsal over SW England while its second part is a Sharks display at Farnborough 1988 augmented by a team of Sea King helicopters.
