The Windermere Air
Show is organised by the Rotary Club of Windermere in conjunction with
the RAF. The event raises money of local Charities.
The event is held on the
Glebe, Bowness-on-Windermere over the last weekend of July. The
2008 Air Show was attended by a near record crowd.
The
2009 Air Show was on the 25th/26th July.
Following on from the
Air Show, Rotary commissioned Cumbria Tourism to conduct a Visitor
Survey and Economic Impact Analysis. This report is below together
with a letter from David Thomas, Airshow Coordinator and Treasurer.
