According to The Lincolnshire Echo The show will re-create aerial dogfights from the Second World War.

Organisers are in talks with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, based at RAF Coningsby, to use their Spitfire and Lancaster, as well as civilian display teams from Germany to include foreign aircraft.

This means visitors could potentially witness a Spitfire going head-to-head with 'enemy' forces for the first time in decades.
