Dawlish Carnival and Air Show


The highest accolade for this summer's entertainment must go to Dawlish. A packed week of well organised, first class events thrilled the thousands of spectators. All the usual carnival activities were on show with something for all ages. A packed programme featured the Wakefield Majorettes, a superb display from a group visiting Dawlish for over 30 years. All the fun of the fair and the Carnival procession. The highlight of the week was the Air Show, this year bigger than ever and featuring the main stars, the Red Arrows led by the classic Avro Vulcan, the only one in existence. Restored at a cost of £8M by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, this majestic example of British Aviation history finally took to the skies again in June 2008 and joined the Red Arrows here in the little town of Dawlish in Devon. Magnificent!
