The nine-man team can jump from up to 12,000ft and reach speeds of 120mph in freefall.

But with the low clouds over the showground in Costessey today, both altitude and speed will be much lower.

Flight Lieutenant Dave Sellers said cloud cover needed to be at a minimum of 2,500ft before the team could jump.

At that height, the parachutes will be deployed almost immediately as they exit the aircraft and move into their formation.

From there, they will form a stack and float down into the centre of the Grand Ring.

The Falcons had to cancel both of their displays yesterday and one this morning as the cloud cover remained too low above the showground.
