TTopping the bill is a supersonic RAF Typhoon. History lovers will be sure to get a lift from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with its Lancaster, Spit and Hurricane. And the Red Arrows will cruise in their famous Diamond Nine before breaking into death-defying manoeuvres, including Opposition Barrel, Detonator and the ever-popular Heart. It’s not only the RAF on show –propeller-powered Team Raven and AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers will wow the crowds with their aerial antics too.

Those of you living further south might like to head to the Eastbourne International Airshow. They’ll feature many of the same aircraft, plus the British Army’s Tigers Parachute Display Team. And there’ll be loads of fun on the ground with cool classic cars, stunt displays and fairground rides.

There are plenty of other air shows to choose from, so keep your eyes and ears open for an air display near you.

I can honestly say my life would be nowhere near as good as it has been without Jesus being in it. Maybe it’s a cool choice you need to make too.

God Knows! says Justin Reeves

I wonder what your favourite drink is. Mine’s Diet Coke Caffeine Free. I drink loads of the stuff. I probably drink too much of it and I should drink more water.

That reminds me, when I was young and complained I was thirsty, my mum would always say, ‘There’s plenty of water in the tap!’ That would annoy me a bit because I think she knew that I was really saying, ‘I want some squash or zzy pop!’ To me, water was the most boring drink in the whole world ever.

That’s the thing with parents and carers – they’re really good at knowing the difference between things we want and things we need. My mum knew
