At Dawlish we pride ourselves on providing the
public the opportunity to get up close to as many aircraft as
possible. Most of our spectators may not usually get the
chance to see such aircraft apart from in the air.
Due to our location all of our aircraft on
view are helicopters. They land at either of 2 sites (Dawlish
Warren or the South Dawlish "Smugglers Inn" site
during the morning of the airshow. Once made safe their air
and ground crews are on hand to talk to the public and show
them around the aircraft.
Both sites present superb photographic
opportunities in a contrasting environments.
Dawlish Warren Area The
Dawlish Warren Site is located on the Green next
to the beach. Aircraft will arrive between 9am and 10.30am
and remain until they display some time in the afternoon. Once
they have landed the public will be allowed up close and be
able to speak to the aircrew about the aircraft and being
involved with them. This site will be home to the smaller and
more historic of our helicopters. The
South Dawlish "Smugglers Inn" Area The
Smugglers Inn site is home to the larger helicopters and
situated, strangely enough, to the Smugglers Inn. Aircraft
will land here from 10.30am and again remain until they
participate in the display, those helicopters not flying in
the afternoon's show also remain here due the less public
nature of the site.
