Dawlish in South Devon in the setting for truly one of the best free shows around, with a stunning backdrop it makes the perfect setting for the Dawlish Air Show. In Previous years there have been 80,000 people to see a whole variety of aircraft take to the sky in this amazing show.
The Vulcan XH558 made what can only be described as a stunning entrance last year, not just in her presence but also due to the number of people who have helped get her back in the air and the final flypast with the Red Arrows was very special.
I have blogged about last year’s show here;

It is well worth getting their early to see the static displays, last year you could check out numerous helicopters including the Devon Air Ambulance and it has just been announced that for 2010 78 Sqn from RAF Benson will be on static display with a Merlin helicopter, and, joining the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in the flying display, will be the Hawker Beechcraft King Air from 45(R) Sqn at RAF Cranwell.
Finally a bit of a plug as the event is entirely run by volunteers you can show your support by signing up to the for just £10, not only will you receive a badge and certificate, but you can also take a sense of pride from the fact that your contribution will go towards making the show bigger and better for everyone!
