It is the ninth such event along the coast of Dorset, but for the first time I venture along to the cliff tops in the evening; something that until this year just didn't pique my interest. I now wish it had. Drawn in by the fact that the Eurofighter Typhoon was set to make a second appearance of the day (always welcome), I decide to stay on for the pyrotechnics of the Night Air display, and they damn-well nearly stole the show. Featuring O'Briens Flying Circus starring Otto the Helicopter as well as Team Fireflies and Aerosparx, the neon-clad aircraft made a stunning display in the dusk sky.
The weather is playing its part, as always, and flying was put back an hour today to allow a storm front to pass, but tomorrow (Saturday), unseasonably strong winds of up to 45 mph are expected to prevent flying of any value.
