Guernsey Air Display to showcase Red Arrows and RAF Typhoon in new evening slot
Guernsey will welcome back the Red Arrows as part of the island's popular annual air show.
Also set to take to the skies are the RAF Typhoon Display Team and the Dakota from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF).
This year, the event has moved back to its usual September slot but will start later in the day, which organisers hope will help make it more accessible.
Barry Neal, Flying Display Director, adds: "The Reds and BBMF are stalwarts of the display, and a highlight for many.
"We always apply for the Typhoon but we're rarely successful so that will be a fantastic addition. Everyone loves a fast and noisy jet."
Other performers include Rich Goodwin and his Pitts Biplane, and Airborne Pyrotechnics which will round off the show.
Natalie Davidson, Event Organiser, says: "We're expecting much bigger crowds to be able to enjoy this wonderful event. For the first evening display to have such a great lineup of aircraft is very exciting."
The Guernsey Air Display is a free event which relies on sponsorship and donations, it will take place from 6:30pm to 8pm on Wednesday 10 September.

Knock Out – Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review
Episode 4 Knock Out Episode 4 brings us back to the kissing with Keen removing Thun's shirt. That's only the beginning as the two take things to the bedroom, only to be interrupted by a call from Typhoon. He congratulates Thun for finally letting him go. And with that, the moment is ruined. Keen throws his shirt back on, asking the question. Thun explains their argument but not his previous relationship with Typhoon. Unsettled, Keen tucks himself into bed telling Thun to rest up for the fight. The next day, Thun weighs in then Keen takes him back to get ready, requesting a massage. Caught by the others, Keen ducks out to let Ait take over. READ MORE: Thai and BL drama reviews At the preceding fight, Win bets, triumphs and talks up Thun for the next match. While Typhoon gets his trainer to increase his dosage of whatever he's taking. After the needle, his veins seem to darken. Typhoon knows he'll have 12 hours of extra strength and then severe pain as it recedes. As the team sets up, Klao mentions that the judges may have been bribed in the previous match. Five rounds later, Typhoon and the Cannon are both still standing. But Typhoon is awarded the win via points. Petch immediately disagrees with the call but Thun is resigned. Backstage, Keen accuses Pakorn of owning the judges. With the press, Thun gracefully concedes saying he and Typhoon are even now. At dinner later, smiling giddily, Thun suggests it's like a date. Keen can't help but appreciate his expression, agreeing they'll eat out together more. Passing a game room, Keen is checking out the punching bag. But Thun is more interested in the claw machine toys. They win a boxing plushy at the punching bag with Thun landing the final blow. Ait and Win visit Keaw in the hospital. As they exit, Win asks if Ait will still do massage work on the side once the transplant is complete. He tells Ait that he'll take care of him so Ait agrees to focus on boxing. The guys run into Ms Muay on their way to Keen's apartment and Keen hears that Thun paid the last of his debt. Keen is annoyed but Thun says he wanted to do something for him. Keen can't stay angry and thanks him saying he'll pay as soon as he can. To that, Thun asks if Keen would like a boxer as a boyfriend. They agree with a kiss and things quickly heat up. The Episode Review Typhoon's untimely call puts a dampener on things though it's only a matter of time for Thun and Keen. But to what could Typhoon have been referring? Their friendship? Their friendly matches? Or something more? And no matter what was between them, how disappointed will Thun be when he finds out Typhoon not only cheated but took drugs and risked himself to do it? Whatever is going on with his hulk-like blood vessels, it can't be healthy long-term. Even if the trainer tried to dissuade him. Meanwhile, during the fight itself, it didn't seem like Thun was holding back but at the same time, he was quietly pleased for his friend's win. Maybe he's at bygones now that he's found a love interest. Maybe he wanted his friend to take the prize. Then there's Win saying he'll take care of Ait. Sweet but doesn't it seem like it could be difficult for him to achieve? He lost the boxing bet and it seems like he has yet to pay that debt. Will Ait (and his little sister) really be able to depend on Win? What are your thoughts on these Knock Out romances? Drop-kick your views into the comments below.

Cameron Weldon & George Thorpe BBC News, Devon BBC The Red Arrows are set to feature during this year's English Riviera Airshow Pilots hope they can inspire future generations to take to the skies as they soar above the crowds of the English Riviera Airshow. The 2025 edition of the event which takes over the skies above the seafront at Paignton Green is set to begin on Friday and continue until Sunday with thousands of spectators expected to attend. The RAF's Red Arrows and Typhoon display teams are among those showing of their skills in the air. Flt Lt Ollie Suckling of the Red Arrows said the team was looking forward to performing for the crowds as he had fond memories of watching air shows as a child himself. "I've got stuff back at home signed by the Red Arrows from my local air show when I was growing up," he said. "It's really good to be able to give something back and think you might be talking to someone who might be in the Red Arrows in 20 or 30 years time." Flt Lt Suckling added the display would have a lot of colour, power and noise along with a "little surprise" for the crowd. He said: "We are painting the sky and hopefully everyone will enjoy it." 'Career highlight' Another of the pilots who will be taking to the skies is Sqn Ldr Nathan Shawyer, from Honiton, who will fly an RAF Typhoon. He said: "It's an immense privilege and I cannot wait to come home. "To be back in that neck of the woods and see everyone again will be a career highlight for sure."
