On the ground, much of the exhibtion revolved around VIP, Medevac and policing roles. Perhaps the biggest helicopter on display was the Eurocopter Super Puma displayed by Bristow Helicopters as part of Operation Jigsaw; the provision of Search and Rescue for BP's Oil Rigs. Each day saw a mini fly-in of helicopters and executive jets. Wednesday saw ETPS fly-in on mass with the Westland Sea King HC4X and Eurocopter Squirrel HT1 in raspberry ripple paint schemes.

2003
saw the return of Helitech to the cambridgeshire airfield. 2003
turned out to be dissappointing as far as visiting aircraft
were concerned, but not in a business sense. Sikorsky took full
advantage at the absence of the european competition, the EH101,
in showing off their S-92
to all of the potential
customers on the ground and demonstration flights thoughout
the day.
