The 2024 event, which had planned flypasts by both Spitfires and Hurricanes, was postponed at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances related to communications with the Ministry of Defence.

These have included many modern and classic fast jets (for example Sepecat Jaguar, BAE Hawk, Hawker Hunter, Folland Gnat) military helicopters from the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, historic warbirds like the Spitfire and Mustang and displays from light aerobatic aircraft.

In 2009, there was a visit by an RAF C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, and in 2011, the Avro Vulcan XH558 performed the closing display.

Traditionally, the show also includes participation from the resident No 612 Volunteer Gliding Squadron, which uses the airfield during the weekend for its flying activities.

In addition to the flying activities, the event usually features a wide range of ground attractions, such as stalls and arena display along with vintage and classic vehicles.
