Ayr Airshow Festival of Flight and Classic Cars

The 2025 Festival of Flight on Ayr Low Green was an event that ACCC were looking forward to but unfortunately, we did not receive an invite this year. The club were disappointed as it was one of our favourite events but we still wanted to mark this day with a classic car gathering.

We applied to the council for permission to park on Prestwick Promenade and this was granted. We had our new location. We advertised the event and very quickly it filled up. Decision was also made to invite our friends from Wast Coast Classic Cars.

The airshow weekend begins on the Friday night and those of us who made the trip were not disappointed with an excellent display which included the Red Arrows, The Falcons, BBMF, RAF Typhoon and Pyrotechnic Gliders. It was a magnificent display.

Saturday morning and both ACCC and WCCC assembled on the prom for a very relaxing and laid back event. We assembled our gazebos which formed the central focal point. We had a good turnout of cars on the day with around 50+ cars on display. There was over 100yrs of classics including Ford's, Ferrari, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, MG, Mazda as well as a selection of American vehicles.

At 1.30pm the airshow began and from our location we got a great view. We were treated again to a fantastic aerial display but this time there were many more aircraft including stunt planes, helicopters, cargo planes, trainers and fighters.

Everybodys favourites the Red Arrows, Typhoon and the Lancaster, Spitfire combo of the BBMF were all in perfect view from the prom and we also had the bonus of seeing them all land at Prestwick Airport.

Great day out away from the hustle and bustle of the Low Green. I'm sure we will repeat this event in 2026.
