The Bournemouth Air Festival is well underway offering all the thrills and spills expected from the annual aeronautical event.
After day one saw the Red Arrow display cut short due to Red 6’s "irregular engine indications", fans were relieved to discover the RAF team would still be appearing on each of the remaining days, as planned.
The show has been rebranded this year as the Platinum Jubilee Bournemouth Air Festival, to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

Bournemouth Air Festival 2022 – Sunday weather forecast
While temperatures on Sunday will remain around the same as the day before, that's where the similarities end.
Rain is predicted for most of the day with heavy showers moving in from around 10am.
Clouds will darken by early afternoon giving a rather grey outlook and light showers at 1pm will worsen to heavy rain by late afternoon.
Good news for anyone hoping to enjoy the fireworks - it's predicted to be a dry evening with the chance of the odd sunny spell before the sun goes down.
