The Wales Airshow is returning to Swansea for 2022 after the annual two-day event was cancelled both in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. Those heading to the attraction, which sees thousands of people flock to the Swansea seafront each year, are in for a treat with many aircraft and display teams confirmed for this year's event.
Among those taking to the skies this year are the world-famous Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the hugely popular aerobatics team, Team Raven. You can read more about what to expect at the Swansea Airshow here.
