17th Clacton Airshow 2008 - Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd August 2008

Venue: Marine Parade West, Clacton on-Sea.

Starting at 11.00am to 5.00pm
Cost: Free

Each day will have a full flying programme.
In previous years this has included the world famous Red Arrows, Tornado, Jaguar, Harrier, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Guinot Wing Walkers and the Aerostars as well as ground events that have ranged from the Royal Marines Commando Team to the Moscow State Circus.

With the Red Arrows performing on both days no one should miss out on what is the most breath-taking aerial display - and another aircraft has been added to the programme.

The T-28 Fennec has joined the line-up and promises to be another exciting top attraction.

It is one of only two of the T-28's based in the UK and was the winner of the competition to replace the T-6 Texan as primary trainer in the USAF. Despite its size, it is a sprightly mover and is instantly recognisable by its distinctive engine noise.

Another aircraft making its debut will be the Typhoon - a unique modern combat plane with a top speed of 910mph.

Always a favourite with the crowds is the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which will appear alongside the Tutor, Mustang, Blades, Team Guinot Wingwalkers, the Hawk (208), Tucano and a glider.

Programmes are now available, priced £2, from Tourist Information Centres in Clacton, Harwich and Walton, council offices as well as the Clacton Factory Shopping Village.
