BBC NEWS.....
An 82-year-old spectator has been flown to hospital after being injured when a parachutist at Weston Air Festival crashed into her during a display.
The parachutist - part of the RAF Falcons team - received minor injuries when he missed the drop zone.
The woman was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol with a suspected fractured pelvis, a spokesman for South Western Ambulance Trust said.

Re: Weston Air Festival 2014
What a great show. Shame about the foul ups but nothing not seen elsewhere. Must send thanks to the organisers and supporters of what will hopefully be a regular on the airshow calender.
On the negative, they really need to extend the speakers down the promenade, the seafront is not a 5 metre section next to the Tropicana! And TVOC really need to work out what and why it all went wrong, that was ridiculous.

Re: Weston Air Festival 2014
To quote Sean Maffett as the Vulcan departed, 'hands up who wants the organiser to have the Vulcan back next year?'
Looks good to me!

Re: Weston Air Festival 2014
Thanks, there is only one Bulldog on civil reg coded U, G-CBAB/XX543 so probably fits the bill?

Re: Weston Air Festival 2014
I have confirmation that the bulldog was g-cbab/xx543:u. If anyone does have the serial of the Chinook i would be grateful. For interest, I understand that the two gazelles g-cbsk/zb627;a & g-zzle/xx436, landed on beach lawns on the saturday, are to be part of a 4 ship display team, drawn from. a pool of 8 for 2015.
Thanks - Martin. See you at the helicopter museum on "spotters day" in September?
