Got this info while browsing the net

The Red arrows have confirmed the 7th august so this may lead to other acts being announced

That could make it  3 airshows between july and sept not bad for ireland

From what little info regarding this event there is,it appears thet the Festival will run for 2 days but any flying displays will just be on the one day (7th August).

The Reds still have to carryout a feasibility study to see if the venue is suitable,but I don`t forsee any problems except the Mournes might get in the way a bit

I believe there is also to be some sort of flypast of various vintage aircraft,but as I mentioned earlier,info is very thin on the ground at present.I have trawled through loads of airshow act sites to see what else maybe lined up and found nothing.

So looks like a wait and see job.

Does your source specify what type of vintage aircraft?

I assumed the Reds do all their research before confirming the date

Also it could answer a question as to why the Red Arrows haven't  performed at Bray

Sadly at this point in time I don`t know what "vintage" aircraft are due to take part in the flypast/display.

As I mentioned info is hard to come by at present but if I hear of anything I will post it up.

Ok Paul  thanks for the info

It may turn out to be a small celebration with the red arrows concluding the proceedings

like you said it'll be a wait n see
