Wales Airshow 2019

Wales Airshow 2019

Held over the weekend 6-7th July, right opposite the guesthouse over stunning Swansea Bay

New for this year and quite a surprise when I opened up for breakfast were a pair of full size replica aircraft standing less than 100ft from our front door - a Hurricane and a Spitfire
 Our guesthouse just behind

A pair of Spitfires and 2 Hispano-Suiza Me109G with Merlin engines (used in the Battle of  Britain movie 1969). 
These simulated dogfights across the sky, on the Sunday, there was a soundtrack of machine gun fire.
