Thousands of people spent the day reaching for the skies at Scotland's only airshow this year.

It was held at the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune in East Lothian and was its 10th annual show.

More than 13,000 people saw a mixture of old and new, military and civilian aircraft as well as aerobatic displays from the Red Arrows and the Blades.

A twin-rotor Chinook, which had been on duty at floods in Gloucester earlier in the week, flew in for the event.

World War II aircraft, including a Lancaster bomber and Catalina seaplane also took to the air.

Normally the event at RAF Leuchars would be the biggest show - but it is not happening this year because of work on the airfield.

Organisers believe the East Fortune event passed with flying colours.
