Outside that however there's plenty going on - aeromodels and kite flying taking place in the morning on both days.

Static display will include historic aircraft which were used for pleasure flying from Southport sands when the beach was a licensed airfield - Fox Moth and Vagabond have been announced by the organisers.

There will also be a civilian-owned Robinson R22 helicopter.

West Lancashire Microlight School at Ince Blundell is bringing a large collection of ultralights and microlight aircraft onto the beach.

Other attractions include hovercraft rides, kite flying, an extensive display of model aircraft from Southport Model Aero Club, and the usual ground stalls, exhibitions you get at seaside airshows.
