A spotting location has been confirmed for people wanting to see aircraft up close at Prestwick Airport during the International Ayr Show - Festival of Flight.

The aircraft will be performing in front of the Low Green and along South Ayrshire seafront on Friday and Saturday. 

However, for those looking for a closer peek, Prestwick Airport is opening a parking area near 'the mound' off Shaw Farm Road.

This area will be open on Friday, September 6 from 12pm until 9pm, and on Saturday, September 7 from 8am until 7pm.

Most of the aircraft taking part in the Ayr Show will take off and land from the airport before and after their routine.

An airport spokesperson said: "Please note that parking in this area is at your own risk and there is no overnight parking.

"We urge you not to park on main roads or in residential areas – vehicles will be moved. Please respect our neighbours in Monkton and Prestwick.

"Timings may be subject to change at short notice."
