At 2pms subject to aircraft availability and the weather there will be a fly past of vintage military and civilian aircraft.
Martin Barmby has been helping to organise the event he said:
"As ever,this only happens because of the group of volunteers that give up their,time,fuel and enthusiasm to allow the parade and displays to go ahead. A grant from Bridlington Town Council pays for the public liability insurance required.
Last but not least, thanks to the good people of Bridlington that support the Armed Forces of the past present and future. It's our first time on the foreshore,let's see if we can make it our best ever."
