Rhyl Air Show returned last year for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Jamie Groves, managing director of event organisers Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, said: “It’s going to be an amazing show again this year, with the Rhyl Air Show now being considered one of the most spectacular events across the North Wales coast.
“Rhyl town centre and Events Arena are always buzzing with excitement, and to have both the Red Arrows over both days again this year is just amazing.
“We can’t wait to welcome visitors and locals to Rhyl and the Denbighshire coast to enjoy this award-winning show.”
