Doug went on to say: "We would like to thank everyone who came to the last two Airshow's at Ayr and it simply wouldn't go ahead without the support of these guys and our main sponsors.

"I am really excited and thrilled to be saying the Red Arrows will be making an appearance and will perform a display again this year, and it's only one of the many exciting aircrafts we have lined up.

"We would like to get local businesses involved even more this year as the event has already brought in over £7million to the towns economy in the past two years, and we hope to extend this further."
