It’s back! The RAF Typhoon is heading for Swansea

March 28, 2024 By Chris Williams

​​​​​​​The RAF’s world-famous Typhoon jet is set the delight crowds at Swansea’s Wales Airshow this summer.

It’s the second big name to be confirmed for the two-day spectacular due to take place over Swansea Bay on July 6 and 7.

The annual show is being organised by the council – and the Typhoon, with a top speed of almost twice the speed of sound, is due to appear on both days.

The Red Arrows are due to attend on the Saturday – and there’ll be many other stars of the skies and a wide range of family fun on the ground throughout the big weekend, including displays, virtual reality experiences and live music. 

Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “The Wales Airshow will be a great weekend this summer and we’re delighted that the Typhoon will be flying over Swansea again. 

“The airshow, with its fantastic family atmosphere, is a great partner for other big local events such as the IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea and World Triathlon Para Series Swansea.

“It contributes millions of pounds to our local economy.”

Brilliant airshow attracts huge crowds

July 2, 2023 By Chris Williams

SWANSEA’S Wales Airshow had a fantastic weekend with hundreds of thousands of people enjoying the country’s biggest free outdoor event.

Two days of flying delighted visitors from across the UK. The council-organised event also saw huge crowds enjoy interactive activities on the ground.

Next year’s Wales Airshow, on July 6-7, will have a new partner event – the Saturday will host Wales National Armed Forces Day Swansea 2024.

Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “As one of the highlights of the annual Swansea events calendar, the annual show was a huge success, continuing to support the city’s reputation as a top class venue for major events.

“It contributes millions of pounds to the local economy and we thank local businesses and residents for their patience with the road closures and to all traders for their contribution.”

He paid tribute to the effort put in by council staff, Emergency Services, show sponsors and other council partners who helped make the event a top quality showcase for the city.

It’ll feature military displays, parades and entertainment to celebrate the contribution of those serving in the Armed Forces, veterans, reservists, cadet forces and volunteers.

RAF Typhoon Eurofighter

An RAF Eurofighter Typhoon is set to thrill crowds at Swansea’s Wales Airshow this summer – for the first time since 2019. 

The jet, that can fly at almost twice the speed of sound, was missed by the public last year so Swansea Council has pulled out all the stops to bring it back this year.

It’s the second big name to be confirmed for the two-day spectacular due to take place over Swansea Bay on July 1 and 2. The free annual show is being organised once again by the council.

Last week it was announced that the Red Arrows are due to visit on both days – as will the Typhoon Display Team.

There’ll also be many other stars of the skies and a wide range of family fun on the ground.

Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “The Typhoon’s a huge draw and we’re delighted that it’ll be flying over Swansea again.

“The Airshow contributes millions of pounds to our local economy and we thank businesses and residents for their patience with the necessary road closures – and to all the traders and our sponsors.”
