Celebrating 90 Years of the Royal Air Force this year, the RAF Leuchars Annual Airshow will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2008.

So far, the announcement that the Vulcan B2, XH558 will be displaying has stayed on the front of the official web site, so for those that can make it, it will be the return of an old airshow friend, and a sound and feeling that can only be experiences, not described

The show makes a welcome return this year, being absent from the calendar last year as essential works were carried out to the airfield's runway.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane - will of course be in attendance, with an equally emotional sound and sight filling the sky over this long-established RAF airfield.

The area's connection with aviation dates back to 1911, when the Royal Engineers carried out military testing with balloons. Leuchars Airfield was formally established in 1918, when a fleet station of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) formed the Fleet Aerial Gunnery and Fighting School (NW area) there. The school occupied most of the original technical area, including six general coupled aeroplane sheds, and many of the original buildings, which were used as classrooms, stores and accommodation.
