Good day out yesterday, very well organised free airshow, here's a quick log

The MIGHTY! Vulcan (XH558/G-VLCN), great display around the bay at 1230

Typhoon FGR4 (ZK349/BZ) display at 1250

L-29 Delfin "Viper 1" (serial???) display at 1323

Gyro copter (G-ULUL) display at 1340

Grob Tutor (G-????) display at 1400

Sea King HU5 "Navy 817" (XV661/26) from 771 NAS at Culdrose performed a great demo with the Swansea lifeboat at 1418

Tiger parachute display team jumped from what looked like a Cessna Caravan at 1445

Hunter T7 (XL573/G-BVGH) from Hunter Flying Ltd at St Athan, gave a very nice display at 1517. Gotta love the classics :P

Local Team Raven with their RV4 and RV8s (G-MAXV / G-VFDS / G-EGRV / G-CIBM / G-CDPJ) gave a good display at 1555

BBMF Spitfire's x2 "Fighter formation" (MK356/5J-K / TE311/4D-V), always good to see at any airshow, not the same without the Lancaster though. Displayed at 1620

The Red Arrows closed the display at 1635. Amazing how many people go Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! when they do the Heart :D
