Flacons swoop in at air show
A TOP parachute display team is dropping in on the Clacton Air Show this summer.
The RAF Falcons will be joining the Red Arrows and a giant Vulcan jet bomber in the skies over the town on August 23 and 24.
The Falcons returned to the show last year and proved a major hit with fans.
This year they have four new members in the team which will perform a unique, colourful and courageous freefalling display as they plummet towards the ground at speeds of up to 120mph.
Council tourism boss Stephen Mayzes said the Falcons would be one of the highlights of the show.
