The Wales Airshow 2024 saw great demonstrations from the Red Arrows, Team Raven, the Firebirds and more in Swansea
The Wales Airshow in Swansea delivered another fantastic weekend as hundreds of thousands of people turning up to watch the country’s biggest free outdoor event.
There was a feast of high octane fun over two days featuring The Red Arrows (who put on a stunning display on Saturday t), the RAF Typhoon and many other displays delighted visitors, many of whom have journeyed from across the UK.
The event, which is organised by Swansea Council, saw huge crowds enjoy a wide range of interactive displays, activities and live entertainment on the ground as well as seeing the action in the air. New features included a Veterans’ Village to honour all ex-Service people. Visitors celebrated the significant contributions made to the UK by those who serve and have served in the forces.
There was a signing ceremony for the Armed Forced Covenant, renewing the council’s commitment to the armed forces family. The show marked Wales Armed Forces Day, with Saturday activity including a stage ceremony and entertainment. An original song, written by a group of veterans, was performed publicly for the first time at the event.
