Around 20,000 people visited the first-ever Lydd Airshow on Romney Marsh in September. Now they're gearing up for Lydd Airshow 2007, which will take place on September 1 and 2.

Airshow organiser Lisa Duncan said: "This year's airshow was a fantastic success. We've been inundated with letters from the public, thanking us for a wonderful day out and urging us to do another event in 2007. We've also had extremely positive comments from the pilots who took part. They thoroughly enjoyed performing at Lydd and are keen to return again next year."

London Ashford Airport's managing director Zaher Deir added: "This is great news for the community. Visitors can expect even more outstanding air displays next year, along with plenty of ground exhibits and superb entertainment. It's going to be another great-value, fun day out for the whole family."

Airshow organisers have already begun taking bookings from ground exhibitors. Further details about displays and ticket prices will be released in due course.
