Regatta | Housewares Sidmouth

The 2023 Regatta Airshow line-up has something for everyone and will start around 5pm with a return to Sidmouth by Team Raven who wowed crowds last year. The team consists of a six plane formation of the ultra-manoeuvrable Van’s RV-8 mono-wing aircraft flying in formation with the aim of the team to present a constant display of aerobatics.

The Sidmouth Regatta Air Show
Friday 25 August 2023.

The Red Arrows are back to display at one of their favourite locations over the bay at Sidmouth!

Next with a historic theme, will be the two principal aircraft who defended the skies above Britain in 1940 with an RAF Spitfire and Hurricane from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight taking to the skies over the sea. The now nearly 80 year old aircraft will perform as a duo before displaying separately bringing the much loved sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin Engine to the skies over the town.

Visiting Sidmouth for the first time will be the Stampe Formation Display Team. This team is an Airshow act in the finest traditions of classical barnstorming aviation from the 1930s and 40s. The formation of 4 open cockpit, aerobatic bi-planes fly at speeds of up to 130 mph and turn tightly in close formation to remain in front of the crowd throughout the entire routine.

Next up will be an exciting new team in the Airshow world performing their very first season called ‘The Titans’. The Titans are an original two-ship display team, bringing a unique pairing of dissimilar aircraft. Matching one of the highest performing unlimited aircraft on the market, the Xtremeair XA42, with an upgraded version of an all-time classic, the American Decathlon.

Creating the usual finale to the Airshow for 2023 will be the RAF Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows who are sure to delight crowds with their perfectly synchronised flying and manoeuvrers. Sidmouth Regatta Airshow 2023 is shaping up to be highlight of the year and a fitting start to the Regatta Weekend of events,
