TEARING across the sky at Dunsfold Park’s Wings and Wheels 2017 later this month will be the Typhoon multi-role combat aircraft,

Flight Lieutenant Ryan Lawton will be demonstrating the agility and power that allows the RAF to deliver whenever required.

Event director Jamie McAllister said: “The Typhoon (pictured) is no wall flower and the display at Wings & Wheels will be an incredible mix of noise and power. Ear plugs are a must for this unmissable addition to the air display line-up.”

The Typhoon’s performance will be the culmination of months of hard work, detailed preparation and concerted effort by the display team, comprising members hand-picked from an elite cadre at RAF Coningsby.

This year’s team, from 29 (R) Squadron includes a specialist from every aircraft trade.

The Typhoon force, at Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth, is responsible for the defence of UK airspace, known as Quick Reaction Alert. It also maintains QRA in the Falkland Islandd.

The multi-role combat aircraft is capable of performing the full spectrum of air operations, from air policing, to peace support, through to high-intensity conflict. The Typhoon display aircraft will show just how versatile it is.

Visitors to the show on August 26 and 27 can also enjoy other spectacular air displays including the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, with two Spitfires and a Lancaster, a Chinook (Saturday only), the Apache Display Team with pyrotechnics, Tigers Parachute Team, Blades, and the B25 Mitchell.

The “Wings” of the event would not be complete without a close-up inspection of all the weekend’s visiting aircraft, including the Royal Navy Wildcat, RAF Puma, Apache, Dunsfold’s resident Sea Hawk, and Hunter as well as the airstrip’s famous resident Boeing 747, the Brooklands VC10 and Aces High DC3, all open for tours.

Supercars, classic and vintage icons will put on an awe-inspiring display of power and speed on the Top Gear track in a two-hour auto spectacular. The “Wheels” of the show includes displays from McLaren 12C, Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and Huracan, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari California T, Aston Martin Rapide, Dodge Monaco, TVR Tasmin 280i, Ducati Multistrada 1200s, Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, Ford GT40 and Lotus Elise.

This year’s Wheels Zone features a bigger and better crowd line parade and interactive displays from car and motorbike clubs.

The Stunt Zone will offers four-wheeled, hair-raising performances from Mission Motorsport, and the popular Monster Truck arena returns for demonstrations and passenger rides.

The Military Zone and Parade is interactive – and explosive – bringing re-enactors, a living history zone, and the popular military vehicle parade.

The zone will have more than 80 military vehicles, re-enactment groups, as well as a display on wartime history of Dunsfold Aerodrome and Army, Navy and RAF recruitment stands.

Sid’s Zone is an action-packed free area for the little ones. From 10am until 4pm, kids can join in colouring competitions, arts and crafts, paper plane challenges, face painting and Sid’s Trail, which encourages the whole family to search the arena for questions and answers to win a goody bag.

Opportunities to meet and greets show mascot Siddeley and the display pilots are also not to be missed.

The 32-acre public arena features a huge variety of interactive attractions, including military outlets and displays, kit-plane demonstrations, static aircraft, a fairground and 80 retail outlets.

You can shopping in a craft marquee and a new and vintage market will offer hair and make-up, clothes and collectables.

As the last plane touches down, the party starts with musical evening entertainment from Champagne at the Blitz, a 1940s songbird trio.

The 13th annual Wings and Wheels is open both days from 9am-9pm and will be assisting the fundraising efforts of Brooklands Museum Trust and Help for Heroes.
