They weren't outside the CAN/US region until '93, and that was to Mexico. I don't recall them coming over here (WWII besides), but could be wrong.
I've seen about seven or eight (maybe a couple more?) of the international display teams. I was also present at Scampton in '91 when the Russian Knights first entered the country - they were escorted, obviously, and were vectored direct to Scampton, but they 'didn't understand' and flew directly over Coningsby. Earlier a delegation arrived containing a 3-star General - nobody was expecting him either! He did, however, present some friends of mine with their wings.
Nobody goes as fast as the Thunderbirds, as close as the Blue Angels, or as perfect as the Red Arrows.
