If you were wondering why a stunt plane put on an amazing aerial display over Llandudno's West Shore yesterday, this might help explain.
Devoted husband John Droog organised the display as an unusual gift for his wife Susan's birthday.
At about 5pm, the red and white aircraft began sweeping across the sky towards the Great Orme, and climbing steeply before falling earthward, the display continued for five or six minutes then the pilot flew away towards North Shore.
The aircraft came from the Bedfordshire-based Mark Jefferies Air Shows. It's made up of team leader Mark, Chris Burkett, Steve Carver and Cris Heames.
Together, they form the Global Stars aerobatic team, according to their website.
They fly a state of the art aircraft called an Extra 330S
Pilot Mark Jefferies, 62, was the pilot said: "It was birthday gift and a gift to the town as well! Mrs Droog phoned me afterwards to thank me."
Describing yesterday's flight, Mr Jefferies, who has previously flown over the Wirral, said he flew over the shore of Llandudno and Deganwy at between 500ft and 1,900ft.
“The plane seemed to appear out of nowhere and started thundering over Maesdu Golf Club and North Wales Golf Club, its engine roaring.
"It made quite a few passes along the shore. It also climbed almost vertically, and dropped down, several times. It was ‘heart in the mouth’ stuff!”
