Children’s activities
As if all of that isn’t exciting enough, don’t forget to get the children involved too (young or old!) We have five different Airshow themed activities for them to do from colouring-in, word search, spot the difference and make your own paper aeroplane. Did you know that the World Record for the longest time flying a paper aircraft is 29.2 seconds. Could you beat that? Let’s see you give it a go!
We’ve received some amazing Lego sets too from our local Smyths Toys Superstore in Swansea, by simply entering any of the children’s activities by commenting your entry on the Facebook or Twitter posts you will be entered into a prize draw and could be one of the lucky four people to win a fantastic Lego display set that would look great in any Lego fans home!

If you’re not on Facebook, don’t worry! All of the Q&A’s and highlights will premiere on Facebook on Saturday from 11am, but you’ll then be able to find them here and YouTube channel in the following days for you to enjoy!
We’re looking forward to celebrating the Wales Airshow #AtHome on 4 July – we hope you can join us online!
