Red Arrows and Typhoon among the highlights at English Riviera Airshow
Two days of flying get underway later on Paignton seafront
Tourism bosses are expecting a multi-million pound boost as the main flying starts today for this weekend's English Riviera Airshow.
Around 120,000 people will be heading to Torbay, with the free-to-watch event giving a £5 million boost to the local economy
The RAF Red Arrows and a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are among the highlights, along with a debut peformance by Devon's Squadron leader Nathan Shawyer in the Typhoon.
Devon & Cornwall Police says it will be carrying out additional high visibility patrols during the event and 'the public can expect significant traffic and road closures around Paignton seafront and the surrounding areas, particularly between 10am and 7pm on Saturday and Sunday'
Inspector Pete Giesens, who heads up neighbourhood police teams in Paignton, said: “The Airshow draws thousands of people to this part of the coast every year – it’s a fantastic time to be here in beautiful Devon and there is always a great atmosphere.
“Whilst we anticipate this to be a peaceful event we know how important it is for us to have a presence across the three days. We are not expecting any trouble but there will be lots more people in the area than normal who are here to see the Red Arrows and other entertainment.
For our team it’s about showing our commitment to keeping the public safe and connecting with the community."
