Both today and Saturday, there will also be two full displays from the Royal Air Force’s Aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, and the RAF frontline jet fighter, Typhoon, performing their first displays of the season.

The Swedish Draken jet fighter will be making an appearance at the Midlands Air Festival over the Ragely Hall estate, alongside another rare British jet fighter the de-Havilland Vampire on Sunday, June 4.

It is capable of a supersonic speed of 1200 miles an hour and can climb to 40,000ft in one minute.
