Disabled access viewing spots for the air displays will be situated at the Eastern Esplanade (Harbour End) and the Paignton Green event village by the Redcliffe Hotel along Eastern Esplanade, either side of Paignton Pier.
Accessible toilets will be available throughout the event site and located within close proximity of the disabled viewing areas.

Drones, balloons and kites

Additionally the Civil Aviation Authority has declared it illegal to fly a drone within four nautical miles of the airshow site. These measures are for the safety of the aircraft performing during the airshow. Any flying of drones will mean that the Airshow is suspended until the item has been landed and subsequently confiscated by the appropriate authorities and may result in prosecution.
