Thank you, First Minister, I appreciate your answer. The Welshpool air show is celebrating its tenth anniversary next June. It’s now called the Bob Jones Memorial Airshow. Over the last nine years, the event has gone from strength to strength and now attracts thousands of visitors to mid Wales each year. It’s previously played host to the Red Arrows, the RAF Falcons parachute display team and the Battle of Britain memorial flight and typhoon. I would like to extend an invitation to you to attend the event next year, but, in the meantime, I would be grateful if you could outline what kind of financial and logistical support the Welsh Government is able to provide for such a major event in mid Wales?
