"The Korean Black Eagles have been awarded the Boeing Trophy for best display at the 17th Waddington International Air Show, on July 1.

Visitor numbers for Waddington International Air Show have been confirmed at 125,000 with 92 aircraft on show from 18 different countries."

"This year's event took on an air of remembrance as the first day coincided with Armed Forces Day just days after a new memorial was unveiled in London for lost servicemen from Bomber Command.

Crowds were asked to watch the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in silence on Saturday in remembrance for the 55,573 servicemen who lost their lives in Bomber Command during World War II."
