 “THE BREMONT HORSEMEN” WWII P-­‐51 MUSTANG AEROBATIC TEAM May 2013 Bremont are delighted to announce the arrival of ‘The Bremont Horsemen’ WWII display team. The Horsemen took off over a decade ago as the world's only P-­‐51 Mustang formation aerobatic team. Since that time, the team has grown into flying other platforms in formation, including F8F Bearcats, F4U Corsairs, and F-­‐86 Sabres, the P-­‐38 Lightning and most recently, Spitfires. The team commences its display season this year at Duxford, UK in May in superb style with the Bremont Horsemen’s first-­‐ever display in tribute to the American pilots who flew with the ‘Eagle’ Squadrons during WWII. The team will be flying a historic four-­‐ship across the UK and the US, comprising a Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, Curtiss P-­‐47 Thunderbolt and North American P-­‐51 Mustang. The pilots for the team are Americans Dan Friedkin, Ed Shipley and Steve Hinton with the Brit, Paul Bonhomme (from Red Bull air-­‐racing fame) joining them for this event. Bremont Horsemen Team leader, Dan Friedkin: “Bremont shares our passion for historic aviation and the desire to celebrate our combat history through the display of fighter aircraft. This partnership offers a unique opportunity for Bremont, the aviation-­‐inspired watch maker, and The Horsemen, the world’s only P-­‐51 Mustang aerobatic team, to capitalize on our natural alignment. As a team, we look forward to flying the Bremont colors in our performances across the globe.” Nick English, Co-­‐Founder, Bremont: “Giles and I grew up around vintage aircraft and it still forms a large part of our lives. There has always been a great synergy between time and flying – in both cases mechanical machinery tuned and maintained to perfection. The margins for error flying these historic aircraft in such close proximity to each other are minute.” About Bremont: Bremont, a British luxury watch brand was co-­‐founded by brothers Nick and Giles English in 2003, has made a substantial impact in the watch industry in a very short period of time.
