Blackpool Air Show set for take-off

THIS year’s free, seafront #BlackpoolAirShow has been set for August 9 and 10

With the RAF Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a group of wing walkers, the show’s organisers are hoping for fair weather and promising the Best of British aviation.

Highlights include displays by two local military giants: the BAE Warton built-Eurofighter Typhoon and a fully-restored, Blackpool-based Huey helicopter. The Huey is the US military helicopter which played a vital role in the Korean and Vietnam wars.

The #VulcanXH558 bomber – which is to be retired – will make its last ever appearance at the Blackpool show, while the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress will be making its first. www.visitblackpool.com
