Flightline UK - Bournemouth Air Festival

Bournemouth Air Festival 2010- 19th-22nd August - Preview

One airshow that's taken the airshow circuit by storm is the Bournemouth Air Festival. 2009 saw crowds of over 1.2 million along the beaches. The cliff provide a superb vantage point to watch the flying from with many displays at eye-level or below! The RAF, Royal Navy and civilian displays take place over four days. Away from the flying, they'll be ground entertainment featureing fireworks, marching bands and more.
