AN airshow devoted to classic aircraft of the 1950s and 1960s takes place at Kemble in June.

The show, entitled the Classic Jet Airshow, follows on from the successes of the 2001 and 2002 shows, both of which attracted crowds of around 10,000 people.

Private collectors and operators own many of the classic jet aircraft being featured at the show.

Glen Moreman, Kemble Air Services events co-ordinator, said: "The Classic Jet Airshow has been created to bring together as many of these operators and their aircraft as possible into a major aviation event for the public to enjoy. We have had such a tremendous response that we felt there was a need for this type of show dedicated to vintage jets."

The show takes place on Sunday, June 15. Gates open at 9am and the flying display will commence at noon for four and a half hours.

Tickets are on sale now and are priced at £12 per adult and £5 per child aged 5-15. Under-fives go free.
