Filling the sky with clamour and spectacle
FROM end to end, the Leas was packed solid. Thousands and thousands of people had flocked onto the grass and the seafront below to watch a spectacle the likes of which had not been seen in Folkestone for nine years.
After months of work, the airshow returned to the town on Saturday and those below roared their appreciation for every act.
