Coastal air displays are going to be the best ones from now on, with all the restrictions on the inland ones.

We live here. We go away every year. Basically if you’ve seen the Red Arrows there isn’t much else on this year. No typhoon this year but oddly it’s been buzzing about all last week, 2 last weekend as a pair. It’s all very much vintage this year plus a MiG15 on Sunday.

A great Airshow with best view from East Overcliff Rd. I took part in the Wheels festival last year why they dropped it this year I never know as it was very busy over the whole weekend and must have really boosted the local economy.
