We previously saw Eastbourne Airbourne in 2002, but didn't take the video.  This time we did and came away with some great footage.  This shot sees a plane diving down over the pier (arrowed).

The commentator over the PA says it's a good photo opportunity as the camera pans from the notice, across Belinda and up to the plane in the sky.  Notice the guy behind has disappeared!

Here we see a near-miss between the two bi-planes and the Utterly Butterly Wingwalkers doing aerobatics up there.  They're a fearless couple of girls, that's for sure!

See and hear the distinctive sound of the Spitfire and Hurricane of the Battle of Britain Memorial flight as they entertain the crowds below and appropriate music plays over the PA.

A dramatic shot of the Jaguar aircraft as it shoots along the seafront at, well it was very fast!  And it made a lot of noise too.  Lucky there are no speed cameras in the sky!

Here we have the Nimrod, a much slower aircraft as it flies over the airbourne visitors with its bomb bay open and its undercarriage down.  The commentator talks about its engines.

The highlight for many is the Red Arrows Display Team, it was difficult to decide which clip to save and put here, we decided on this one when two Red Arrows close on another two head on at speed.
