Thousands of people are expected to attend the Wales Airshow in Swansea this weekend. The spectacular attraction, which is Wales' biggest free family event, is returning after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was last held in 2019 and saw over 250,000 people flock to Swansea to see the magnificent displays in the sky. Among the aircrafts taking part this year are the world-famous Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the hugely popular aerobatics team, Team Raven.
