Peter McNamara

Adding insight for air enthusiasts and guiding all spectators through the displays, the aircraft and the pilots, for many airshow visitors the commentary is an essential part of the spectacle.

Some of the teams, such as the Red Arrows, bring their own expert to talk in detail about the display, but one or two commentators usually talk through the majority of items.

One familiar voice on the airshow circuit is Peter McNamara, himself an accomplished pilot with experience of flying over 15 types of aircraft.
