Highlights at this year's event include two iconic Battle of Britain fighter planes on static display - the Hawker Hurricane and the Messerschmitt Bf109. Visitors will also be able to experience the mighty roar of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, as fitted to the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster during WW2, being run up to full throttle.
For the first time, there will be live battle re-enactments and firepower demonstrations from groups representing the US, German, Russian and British armies.
