Cromer Carnival has bounced back from the disappointment about the Red Arrows by unveiling two air display teams to hit the target this summer.

Last month, we reported that a hole had been left in the carnival schedule when the Red Arrows said they would not be visiting the coastal town.

Now, after a swift search, it has been announced that the crowds will get two for the price of one, with Blades Aerobatic Display team and Wildcat Aerobatics signing up instead.

And they will be joined by popular returners the Princess of Wales Parachute Display Team – The Tigers.

Carnival chairman Tony Shipp said: 'We are delighted that crowds at this year's carnival will be treated to three aerial displays on carnival day.

'Since hearing the disappointing news about not getting the Red Arrows members of the carnival committee have worked hard to secure these very exciting displays.

'Both the Wildcats and the Blades are well known for their displays at many of the country's top air shows and will be an exciting alternative to the Red Arrows.'

The Blades are amongst the most experienced display pilots in the UK and all are former RAF fast-jet pilots and former Red Arrows.

Their air display is renowned worldwide and audiences will be treated to a 15-minute sequence of over 30 separate manoeuvres.

In the skies on carnival day visitors will also see Wildcat Aerobatics in their iconic biplanes. The Wildcats are East Anglia's premier formation aerobatic display team and deliver a show with close-formation aerobatics and synchronized pairs flying.

Along with the Tigers, the other carnival day acts in the arena on August 21 are Woodforde's Dray, The White Helmets Motorbike Display Team, Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps, West Lancs Dog Display Team and Out on a Wing Falconry.

Carnival week is August 17-23.
