Side view of a 2 seat, single-engined gyrocopter parked in the static display park at an airshow, facing to the left. The plane is mostly covered in an olive green and brown camouflage scheme, with a bright yellow belly. The black serial "K4235" is on the rear fuselage, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow, itself just aft of the red letters "KX-H" under the rear cockpit. The 3 tails each have a large red, white, and dark blue fin flash. There are 4 supports around the open front cockpit, heading upwards, with a helicopter-style rotor at the top. A large white, delta-winged jet-engined military bomber aircraft dominates the background, with red covers with white text "Vulcan" and "XM603" in the engine inlets in the wing roots. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Bonus Photo of the Day 27th May 2025.

W3644, Supermarine 349 Spitfire Mk5B (replica), Royal Air Force, on display in a flying pose at the Fylde Spitfire Memorial, at Fairhaven Lake, Lytham-St-Annes, 18th August 2024.
Lytham, and it's neighbour Blackpool, are filled with Spitfires, if you know where to look…

Low side view of a World War 2-era single-engined military fighter pale mounted on a pole in a flying pose. The plane is in a grey and green camouflage scheme, with the cream-coloured letters "QV-J" either side of a yellow, blue, white, and red roundel on the fuselage. There is a cream band around the rear fuselage, with "W3644" overlaid in black. The underside of the body and wings are a pale creamy white, with a blue, white, and red roundel on the outer panels of the wings. The black pole it sits on seems to rise out of the top of a stand of trees, with dramatically lit grey clouds and blue sky above.

I certainly had a wonderful time when I visited #Scotland last September and one of the highlights was standing on the seafront at #Ayr watching an air show that's spelled with a 'y' 😄 #AyrShow

One of, if not the, highlight of this event was the flying display of 'Turbo', the 2024 #EurofighterTyphoon display pilot of the #RoyalAirForce . But don't take my word for it 😉, see for yourself: youtu.be/mRXgMJCkqCo
