British Military Tournament 2011

Following the tremendous success of the launch of the British Military Tournament in 2010, the 2011 event was even bigger and better, with the addition of participating units from the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, plus the American military.

Taking place in Earls Court, the Tournament is the largest display of military theatre anywhere in the world, pulling together the best elements of the world-famous Royal Tournament. Once again, Unusual Rigging supported the event, supplying crew and a raft of equipment, including:
 

• 4 x 100m zip lines, plus specially designed and fabricated ‘fast action’ trolleys
• 400m of truss for lighting and PA equipment
• Additional truss and rigging for the ‘hockey scoreboard’ projection screen
• Rigging for hot air balloon basket
• Chassis for the close of show pyrotechnics
• 160 motors and suspension for all flown props, including Walls for Field Gun Run and pontoon bridge
