"Legends of the Sky" take to the Clacton airshow
The event is taking place on the 21st and 22nd of August
The Clacton airshow is returning to the skies of Essex.
This year's theme is "Legends of the Sky", and will feature two days of aerial displays, including the Red Arrows.
Flying Display Director, Dave Walton, who has directed the airshow for seven years, said:
"Clacton airshow is a firm favourite on the airshow calendar."
“It’s a great location for running a flying display — we’re sat there looking out to sea, with all the land behind us and no terrain issues. And we usually get fantastic weather here on the Essex Sunshine Coast.”
“There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes."
“We start booking airspace and planning the show a year in advance.
The Red Arrows will be appearing on both days of the event, alongside vintage warbirds from WW2, Mustangs, and a replica of a Chinook helicopter.
