Clacton-on-Sea is the largest town on the Tendring Peninsula, in Essex, England and was founded in 1871. It is a seaside resort which attracts many tourists in the summer. Clacton has a pleasure pier, arcades, a golf course and an airfield. In the summer, tourists have the pleasure of watching an aircraft display, sometimes involving the Lancaster Bomber, Spitfires, helicopters and the climax of the display - the Red Arrows. However, due to possible RAF cuts, this air display may cease in the future.
