Dusk display confirmed for Thursday 19th August
June 23, 2010
New dusk display set to be fantastic addition to third annual Air Festival
This year’s Air Festival is not only promising new aircraft, international teams and a better Night Air evening programme, but new and exclusive for Thursday evening is a superb dusk air display.
Set to take place from approximately 8pm, the display will be an incredible opening addition to this year’s much anticipated event. The confirmed line-up includes a host of ‘new for this year’ aircraft and teams – Royal Netherlands Air Force, displaying their fantastic F-16 Fighting Falcon, The Parachute Regiment Freefall Team – ‘The Red Devils’ and war bird Hunter Jet, ‘Miss Demeanour’. Organisers are also confirming details of the flamboyant Italian Pioneer display team – who are set to bring superb international flare, demonstrating precision and elegance of flight, which will be performed with colour smoke and exhilarating pyrotechnic effects.
Jon Weaver, Air Festival Director commented: “We always said that this summer we wanted to give people more reason to stay longer and see more of the resort; the evening display certainly achieves this. As the UK’s leading aviation festival, we have worked hard to create something distinctive and dynamic.”
In addition to the dusk display, Thursday evening only, the ‘Night Air’ evening entertainment (Thursday – Saturday night) also includes street entertainers, performances by Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Band Collingwood, performing the Beat Retreat, Royal Marines Combat Display Team, hot air balloon glows, outdoor film screenings, al fresco food stalls in the town square and a firework display on Saturday night.

On this page it states that Fireworks will be on Saturday night, however, on the main "offical Guide to Bornemouth" website, it states that the firework display will be on Thursday the 19th. Could you confirm which nights the Fireworks displays are showing. Many thanks.

Hi
Thanks for your enquiry – the August 20th 'Friday Night Fireworks' will indeed be moved to Saturday night 21st August at 10pm. In addition this year there will be a pyrotechnic finale for the Red Devils when they jump during the new Thursday evening dusk display 8-9pm.
Best wishes

a huge round of applause for all the organisers who worked so hard to make the display come together on Sunday despite the low cloud and a big cheer for the pilots of the Breitling Wing Walkers, the CAP232, the Matador, the Pitts Duo and the Hawker Hunter all of whom heroically managed to get airborne.
