Day 2 of the air festival, and once again we are blessed with perfect flying weather. However, despite the warm weather and sunshine the crowds attending are noticeably thinner that previous years. I put this solely down to the RAF Aerobatic Display Team - aka The Red Arrows - not putting in single appearance all weekend. Crowd pullers all day long, they have been missed this year.
Nonetheless, there is still plenty to entertain the crowds, whether it is in the air, or static displays on the clifftops and beaches.
