The season of British summer airshows is firmly upon us with the return of Blackpool's annual event this weekend.
The aerial extravaganza at Blackpool's popular promenade offers another spectacular programme of entertainment.
A number of different jets showcasing the best of British aviation will be on show, including a fly past from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Breitling Jets, the Eurofighter Typhoon and more.

Visitors are encouraged to arrive in the resort early to avoid any traffic congestion. If you’re travelling by car to Blackpool, parking will be very limited and traffic queues into the centre for the Blackpool Air Show can be quite lengthy.
You can find places to park on the council's website here.
If you're travelling by train, you can journey into Blackpool North and walk down to the promenade, or head to Blackpool South where there are frequent trams along the prom stopping at all the attractions.
There are direct services to Liverpool North from Manchester, as well as National Express coaches.
If you can't make it this weekend, there are other airshows on offer just a car journey away from Greater Manchester, including Southport and Rhyl.
