The Red Arrows performing at last year’s Leuchars Airshow Up to 50,000 people are expected to attend this year’s airshow at RAF Leuchars in Fife, which celebrates the past, present and future of Britain’s air defence.
This year’s show is taking place 70 years after the Battle of Britain.
It is being held as concern increases over the future of local air bases including Leuchars, Lossiemouth and Kinloss.
Last year thousands of drivers were caught in huge traffic jams.
To avoid similar problems this year Fife Council has introduced temporary traffic restrictions and set up three park and ride sites.
There are also temporary one-way systems and speed limits imposed in the surrounding area.
More than 100 aircraft will be on display at the event – Scotland’s biggest military airshow, which was first held in 1945.
It is taking place as fears rise over cuts expected in the UK government’s forthcoming defence review.
