ROADCLOSESHOW 2026

We went to the Wales National Air Show Swansea again this year. What a superb venue for the event. The turns had the full sweep of Swansea bay as a backdrop, and boy did they use it. The weather smiled on us, with relatively high cloud cover, and just a few drops of rain. 

The star of the show was again the Eurofighter Typhoon, making the earth literally move beneath our feet. The drone show was fantastic, too, with 200 drones moving in sync. It opened with a tribute to Bonnie Tyler. Nice.
