The Red Arrows, the RAF's popular precision flying team, are among the highlights of this annual air show.Military and civilian aircraft take part. Expect to see flying demonstrations from vintage aircraft such as Spitfires, Hurricanes, DC3s and Lancaster Bombers and fly-bys by modern military aircraft like the Harrier, Tornado, Jaguar, F16 and Hercules. A static aircraft display, a vintage car exhibition, a funfair and live music provide entertainment on the ground. If the weather is good, it is a great family day out.
