IF you happened to be driving around town during Sunday afternoon you may have spied people craning their necks to the skies, to take in what has now become a feature of the festival, the Skyfest.
Though it took a while to kick off – because of some blustery weather – when it did take off (sorry!) it had everyone’s full attention.
This year the airshow made the switch over from the Wetlands area to fly over the main stage in Denny Street. The move came about so that the people who were watching the Sunday afternoon parade in town could stay where they were and get a great view of the air display.
A host of different aircraft took part with some performing acrobatic to enjoyment of the crowd, particularly by the five strong Raven Display team from the UK.
