Red Arrows to display at Sywell Airshow!
10th April 2012
We are delighted to announce that the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the world-famous Red Arrows will be displaying for us at the Sywell Airshow on 19th August 2012. Their full half hour display is a thrilling mix of formation aerobatics and dramatic opposition passes and will be the highlight of an approximately three hour long flying display.
Discounted advance tickets are now available from the Sywell Airshow website so make sure of your place now and help us to raise as much money as possible for the Air Ambulance - in 2010 we raised a whopping £31,744.30 so let's try and beat that!
As well as the Reds we'll also be welcoming various WWII warbirds including a Spitfire, Hurricane, two Mustangs, Dakota, the BBMF Lancaster and many more aircraft - see the Sywell Airshow website for full details.

Superb music from the Blitz Sisters rounded off the day! A huge thank you to all our supporters, visitors and friends!
