AeroSuperBatics Limited, legally known as Aero-Super-Batics Limited,[1] and commonly known merely as AeroSuperBatics, is a British civilian biplane multi-aircraft formation aerobatics and wing walking team. They currently perform as The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers (unsponsored since 2018),[2] and were branded as 'The Flying Circus' in 2018.[3] They were previously branded Breitling 'Swiss Chronographs' (performing as The Breitling Wingwalkers, 2011 to 2018)[2] in accordance with their sponsorship agreement with the Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling. Prior to that, branding included Guinot 'Institut Paris' (performing as Team Guinot, 2008 to 2009),[2] Colt Cars,[4] St.Ivel 'Utterly Butterly' (performing as The Utterly Butterlys, 1999 to 2007),[2] Cadbury's 'Crunchie' (performing as the 'Crunchie Flying Circus', 1992 to 1998),[2] and Yugo Cars,[4][5] according to their commercial sponsors at the time. Their display options currently consist of either a solo aircraft, or a two-ship formation pair, or a three-ship display,[6] and previously included a four-ship formation, and during the 2008 display season, a five-ship formation.[7] They are the world's only formation wingwalking team.[7][8][9][10][11]
