Huge crowds revelled in displays from the Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, Calidus Autogyro, Team Raven Aerobatic Display Team, Silver Stars Parachute Display Team, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and more.

On the second day, the Red Arrows had to make an emergency landing after one pilot’s aircraft was struck by a bird, though he was thankfully unharmed.
