Reading Festival 2011 - A Proposal to Remember

Between the heavy showers at this year's Reading Festival, Scott successfully proposed to Sammy-T with an Airads proposal banner, just before Madness came on stage.

From the aircraft, the view below was of thousands of tents and thousands of revellers standing in a uniform landscape of mud between the stages. But for the soon to be happy couple, 4pm on Saturday was a date to remember.

Airads Congratulates the Open Golf Champion 2011

It was touch and go this evening to get a banner flying over the 18th hole of the 2011, Open Golf Championship at the Royal St Georges in Sandwich.

The weather all day had been appalling and we had already lost two banners to fly at the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs, trade union rally in Dorset.

However, at 6pm, just in time for the prize giving at Royal St Georges, the weather broke and Airads managed to get to the airfield and have the banner over the golf course in sixty minutes.

Congratulations Darren Clarke!

Airads Flies the Flag at Margate's Big Event - The Airfix Airshow 2011

What a fabulous display by the Red Arrows this afternoon that entertained thousands of people between the Margate Harbour Arm and the beach at Westgate, with the 'Arrows' skimming along the clifftop at low level between the two as they carried out a lengthy and highly skilled display.

We finally managed to get the Airfix Airshow banner airborne during a gap in the weather and before the Memorial Flight came in. It got back just in time as the heavens opened and so I call that as a good and rather lucky result. I did notice that some of The Tigers freefall parachute team ended up having a dip in Margate harbour but they gave the crowds some wonderful entertainment in the process.

Glider FX Display Abingdon 2011

The Glider FX display from this year's Abingdon Airshow can now be found on YouTube. Towing a glider at low level can be harder and more challenging work than towing a banner.
