Re: Today in pictures
Spot on there Dav I G.
I saw them a couple of years ago at the Southport Air show when we stayed at the British Legion Hotel, fantastic sight and sound, especially the last plane to arrive, the star of the show, The Vulcan.
I must have had a senior moment and left my long lens at home so the photos I managed to get were very poor.
We watched the show from the upstairs lounge of the hotel on the second day and the sight of the Red Arrows heading straight at us before they swooped upwards was something to remember. I had a hand held Ham radio receiver with me and it was great fun listening to the squeaky voices of the pilots in their pressure suits on the air show frequencies.
The Southport air show is being held later this year, 14 and 15th September. I am planning to go and this time I will make sure I take the long lens.
