JAW-DROPPING aerobatics kept the crowds on the edge of their seats at this year’s Teignmouth Air Show.

Saturday’s spectacular saw perennial aviation favourites The Red Arrows kick off the flying displays , arriving over the town in their famous Diamond 9 formation.

Normally sticklers for timing the  team were a few minutes later than planned due to the weather  - but for the thousands attending the event a few minutes wait was worth it.

The precision formation flying and high speed passes of the red  Hawk aircraft had necks craned from every vantage point across Teignmouth and Shaldon.

And the aerial excitement continued throughout the afternoon with helicopter display team Gazelle Squadron  and fixed-wing displays from Team Raven, The Starlings  and Jubilee Pitts .

The event  culminated with an ear-splitting display from the Typhoon - the RAF’s extremely agile multi-role combat aircraft, resplendent in 1944 D-Day markings.
