VE & VJ Commemorations will be taking place all over Lancashire. You might be interested to note that on Sunday 10th July 2005 Blackpool will be commemorating with a limited Flypast of World War Two and modern aircraft, including displays by the Red Arrows and the British Army’s Blue Eagles Helicopter display team.

The Flying display will take place over Central Promenade at approximately 15:40 hrs. Aircraft will include: Spitfire, Hurricane, Hawk, Harrier and Tucano as well as the Red Arrows and Blue Eagles Helicopter display teams. It should be noted that Aircraft and Time are subject to change.

The Red Arrows are expected to arrive at Squires Gate at 15:13 and display over the prom at 17:58 hrs and will then stay over night and depart Squires Gate at 12:30 hrs on Sunday the 11th July 2005. If anyone just wants to see the aircraft taking off, I would suggest the sand hills opposite the Pontins Holiday Camp, you can get good s view down the runway with aircraft flying low level and over head. You might also consider the back of the industrial site to see aircraft movements and landing.

Terrorist Activity is not expected, but large crowds of people both Holiday makers and locals will be swelling the Promenade so there is always a risk of some a***hole wanting to make a point. Watch the kids and take care of you valuables and have a good and safe day.
