It’s day two of the 2022 Bournemouth Air Festival and once again there is an incredible line up of entertainment. After the Red Arrows had to suspend their display yesterday due to Red 6 reporting “abnormal engine” messages, it is hoped that they will be able to display today at their scheduled time of 4.30pm.
Flying is due to start today at 12.25pm however please note that aircraft are subject to availability and weather conditions and flying times may be subject to change at any time.
For an up to date flying timetable please purchase a souvenir programme which will allow you access to the online timetable which is updated throughout the event.

The festival site is open from 10.00am with plenty to see and do on the beach between the Bournemouth and Boscombe piers, up on the East Overcliff and down in the Lower Gardens. The Royal Navy village, located on the beach, has interactive attractions and demonstrations, plus you can meet serving and former personnel and learn more about the navy and its charities. In the Army village, also on the beach, you can get up close to army equipment like the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank, and meet soldiers who can tell you more about life in the army.
