Notes

OA means automatic-opening parachute drops.

OR means delayed controlled-opening parachute drops.

DISPLAY is used for airshows, flypasts, flight demonstrations and ceremonial flying appearances where the published programme does not specify parachute drops.

PARA is used where the published programme confirms a parachute mission but does not state whether it is OA or OR.

Some date ranges may include positioning or return flights, not only the public event day.
