IMPRESSIVE line up at Midlands AIR FESTIVAL, BLESSED with warm weather! ✈️ 🚁 ☀️ | 02.06.2024

A brilliant Sunday spend at this year’s Midlands Air Festival, with some impressive acts topping the bill!
The sight and sound of a civilian registered Saab Draken ripping around the stunning amphitheatre of Ragley Hall estate was absolutely unreal! Draken SE-DXR came courtesy of the Swedish Historic Flight and was put though it’s paces by Laars Martinsson in a high energy performance.
But don’t be fooled by this futuristic looking double delta winged fighter, it was the Swedish Airforce’s answer to a Bomber Interceptor, devised way back in 1949! Such a fantastic piece of engineering, way ahead of its time and a truly rare piece of iconic aviation history to have over UK skies!
Another fantastic act came in the form of The Flying Bulls Douglas DC-6B and North American B25J Mitchell. The immaculate radial engine aircraft were both glistening in the sunlight as they arrived in style, the DC-6 leading, and representing the epitome of elegance and grace, an example of a golden age of commercial air travel in its infancy from a bygone era, and the Mitchell paying homage to the mass produced B25s use in the Asia Pacific and Middle East during World War II.
The glorious B-17 Flying Fortress G-BEDF ‘Sally B’ showed off her curves in the afternoonl, with a graceful performance paying tribute to all those who lost their lives flying in B-17s to protect the UK and take back the continent, and the world famous RAF aerobatic team the Red Arrows proudly celebrating their Diamond 60th year this year, impressed the crowds at the once again back in their iconic nice ship formation.
