The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team – the Red Arrows – will be the stars of this year’s Clacton Airshow, taking place on 21-22 August.
The RAF’s Hawk fast-jet team is the first flight announcement for the 32nd show, one of the biggest annual events in Essex. The team, which includes front-line pilots, will also have a ground display on the West Greensward.
Ivan Henderson, cabinet member for Economic Growth, Regeneration, and Tourism at Tendring District Council (TDC), which organises the Clacton Airshow, said he was excited to welcome the Red Arrows back to the event.
“The Red Arrows are the stars of the airshow circuit, and I am thrilled to announce their breathtaking aerial displays will captivate the crowds at this year’s Clacton Airshow,” he said. “They are a massive attraction for both the general public and aviation enthusiasts.”
Other flights scheduled for the show will be revealed in the coming months. For updates and more information, visit www.clactonairshow.com.
