Last Thursday and Friday saw the best start possible to the summer holidays – The Lowestoft Air Show. Each year the show gets better and this year was no exception. Unlike last year, the weather was was perfect; sunshine and blue sky.The air display takes place along one of Suffolk’s finest beaches, in our natural coastal amphitheatre.For the two days of the Festival, our sea front is transformed, with something for everyone whatever age, with funfairs, rides, simulators, stalls, caterers, music and a great family atmosphere!There was around 4 hours of spectacular flying displays on both days by all sorts of aeroplanes, including the world famous Red Arrows performing their magnificent routine on both days. My favourite was the Avro Vulcan, whose display was slow and graceful.

We are currently working hard on the backroom part of the business.As part of our plan of improvements, we are now using Worldpay as our Payment Service Provider. Worldpay, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) processes online, your card details, rather than us manually entering the card information. This also means a wider range of card types can now be accepted. Now, we never see your card details (unless you order by post or telephone).Start Shopping!
