Pictures and videos: Bob Jones Memorial Air Show 2015
Thousands of people were flying high as they watched some of the world's most famous planes take to the skies above Welshpool.
The Bob Jones Memorial Air Show, held at Welshpool Airport yesterday, saw many of the planes taking part at Cosford also calling in at the Mid Wales event.
Among the highlights was one of the world's most popular aircraft, the Avro Vulcan XH558, which passed over Welshpool, the Cosford Air Show and the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power.
Families and plane fanatics at the show enjoyed the Red Arrows, RAF Falcons parachute display team and a Typhoon.
Martin Evans, one of the organisers, said: "It ran very smoothly today. We changed the traffic system round the park and ride which worked really well. The shuttle buses all worked well, the contingency plans for the car parks worked well. The feedback has all been very good, across all our emails and Twitter I have seen no bad comments at all, that is really good. We were approaching 10,000 people there through the gates.
"The Vulcan was really the star of the show, it is the last chance people will really have to see that.
"The Typhoon did a tremendous exit, he just blasted off straight into the clouds and disappeared – what a finale.
"Local girl Lauren Richards, who is from Llanfair Caereinion, did the most amazing aerobatic display in a red Pitts Special."
He added: "All the displays were just outstanding. Unfortunately the headline act – the Great War display team – got grounded in bad weather in the south of England and did not get up.
"We were lucky because the weather was fantastic up here, it was perfect for an air show."
Dr Robert Pleming, chief executive of the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, said if people had not seen the Vulcan plane this season, there would be "no more opportunities to hear a Vulcan's spine-tingling howl as she climbs high into the sky for another dramatic display".
Martin Evans, show spokesman, said that action-packed day saw the skies "full of displaying aircraft, the showground full of stall and stands and things to buy, see and eat".
It is the eighth year in a row the air show has been held at the airbase.
It was renamed in 2012 after its founder, and owner of Welshpool Airport, Mr Jones, died in a plane crash.
