The RAF Typhoon ripped through Bournemouth’s skies in a display of speed, power and agility. Travelling at more than 1,380 miles an hour, the turbofan engine plane forced many passers by to cover their ears as it flew across the beach.

The unmistakable sound of the Chinook followed suit alongside The Blades, the twin-rotor helicopter has the capacity to carry up to 55 troops or 10 tonnes of cargo.

Waiting for the Chinook, Ferndown residents Davina and Jaz said: “We are hoping to be back tomorrow to see it again, depending on the weather.”

Dubbed the Platinum Jubilee Bournemouth Air Festival in celebration of the Queen’s 70 years on the throne, the Red Arrows put on a spectacular display in red, white and blue, drawing a heart in the sky which prompted cheers from the appreciative crowds.

The seven jets delivered a full display after a day after the squad were forced to curtail their performance on Thursday when Red 6 had “irregular engine indications” which led to the aircraft being escorted back to Bournemouth Airport.

As well as the incredible air displays, there was plenty of entertainment on the ground, including food and information stalls for families to enjoy.
