FALMOUTH Week organisers have announced a standout air display for Wednesday, August 12, with three world-class display teams set to take to the skies as Cornwall experiences its most significant solar eclipse since 1999.

The Royal Navy Parachute Display Team, The Flying Comrades and the AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers will each perform as part of a high-energy evening of breathtaking aerial entertainment from 6pm, with a 95 per cent partial solar eclipse unfolding simultaneously overhead.

With Cornwall set to be one of the best viewing locations as the sky darkens over Falmouth Bay, this is a convergence of human spectacle and natural wonder that promises to be unforgettable.

The Royal Navy Parachute Display Team, known as the Raiders, is one of Britain's most celebrated military display acts.

Formed in 1983, the team consists of experienced parachutists drawn from across the Surface Fleet, Submarine Service, Royal Marines and Fleet Air Arm, with volunteers from almost every rank and rate represented.

Trailing coloured smoke and flags as they freefall towards the harbour, the Raiders deliver a display of precision and courage that is inspirational.

The Flying Comrades are an aerobatic formation team flying a duo of iconic Yakovlev Yak-52 aircraft, a blend of vintage Soviet engineering famous for its incredible aerobatic capabilities.

Visitors can expect tight formation flying, exhilarating passes and a display that is as visually distinctive as it is thrilling.

The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers represent one of the most extraordinary spectacles in the airshow world.

The world's only formation wingwalking team, operating iconic Boeing Stearman biplanes, the team delivers breathtaking sequences of loops, rolls and turns while daring wingwalkers perform handstands against 150mph wind pressure.

The Falmouth Week air display is subject to weather conditions and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approval.
