This year's Guernsey Air Display will break from tradition and take place in the evening of Wednesday 10 September.

The Guernsey Air Display usually takes place on a Thursday morning, with children taken out of school and adults leaving work to see the aircraft.

This year the likes of Lancasters, Spitfires and Hurricanes are scheduled in Guernsey's skies from 18:30 till 20:00, on Wednesday 10 September.

Event organiser, Natalie Davidson, hopes the time change will make the event more accessible:

"It has been a Thursday lunchtime display for a very long time, around 60 years, so this is a big change.

"But we should be able to get some different aircraft in, and it means more families can come down and watch together, without having to pick kids up from school and take them back.

"I hope it is a popular decision."

The 2025 event will also be shorter, running for an hour and a half. It has lasted two and a quarter hours in the past.

"Air display teams are expensive, so filling multiple hours can be difficult sometimes with the budget that we have got.

"Once we have got the RAF and military assets we can then work with the private display teams around that."

Natalie says the time change will suit Guernsey Airport better, as it has to close during the display, and also allow a pyrotechnic team to perform - who could use fireworks or LED lighting.
