Shoreham Airshow 2012: Day two preview
Some amazing displays have been lined up for this year’s airshow, including old favourites and some new surprises.
With 12 aerobatic teams, 12 solo displays, two gliding teams, two parachute teams and more than six hours of flying, organisers are hoping there will be something for everyone.

For those who enjoy aerobatic displays, the Trig team will once again be at this year’s airshow.
Richard Grace and Dave Puleston will wow the crowds in their Pitts Special S-1DB planes, an ideal display aircraft because of its rate of roll and general manoeuvrability.
Also wowing the crowds with their daring deeds will be the Breitling Wingwalkers and The Blades, official display team for RAFA.
