About the Air Show

It is a privilege for RAF Leuchars to host the only remaining Battle of Britain Air Show, and 2nd largest non-sporting outdoor event in Scotland.

The Air Show provides an opportunity for RAF Leuchars to celebrate the RAF at its best, showcasing its wide range of roles and highlighting its rich heritage; it is also an important opportunity for the Station to welcome its neighbours throughout Scotland (and beyond) onto the base and to thank them for their support throughout the year. In recent years we have hosted crowds in excess of 40,000 people.

The Air Show is a vehicle through which RAF Leuchars increases the public's understanding of the RAF: its roles, capabilities and its people.  The Air Show is not funded by the taxpayer; additional revenue raised is donated to the RAF Benevolent Fund, Royal Air Force Association and local charities.
