AWESOME, spectacular, amazing. A selection of the superlatives used by spectators to describe the Great Yorkshire Airshow.
The Red Arrows brought yesterday's show to a dramatic climax with an astonishing display of aeronautics performed against a cloudless blue sky.
They were supported by a fantastic cast of aircraft and pilots, making the airshow, sponsored by the Evening Press, a thrilling day out.
Another record-breaking crowd was expected today. It is little wonder that so many families braved traffic jams to get to Elvington. They wanted to see the greatest show above the earth.
