Airbourne.......anyone else going today

[Bakesy]

Anyone else from here going to the Airshow on Eastbourne Seafront?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

No.

I shall, however, enjoy the Red Arrows flying over my garden.

No.

They are supposedly coming for the Shoreham Airshow in September I think, should be fun watching from the Red Lion

And I'll be doing a Lord B for that one. Enjoying it from my back garden.

Might you there then MARC, I will probably go along there on the Sunday. In fact, I am planning on buying a pair of binoculers from a pikey at the market on the bank holiday, so I can see the pilot and EVERYTHING.

Make the most of watching the Red Arrows ..... they might not be around for too much longer.

Bloke I work with is a right aircraft anorak/geek but knows his stuff. He was telling me that the RAF's Hawk fleet are all coming towards the end of the permitted flying life - the MOD will have to decide whether they can afford 10 extra replacement orders just to support the Red Arrows.

With the coffers being closely scrutinised and Typhoons (Euro fighters) costing loads more than the (Hawk) trainers, it just might be that Red Arrows days are numbererd ...

I hope not - but all comes down to £££

I went on Thursday, best day weather-wise i think. Awesome displays as always. No Red arrows though?! But got to see them Friday on the way back from doing something else in Eastbourne! Going to the fireworks tonight if the rain holds off.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Was up on Beachy Head watching today. They show up the problem with digital cameras - they don't like things that move very fast!

Here is the best one I managed to take.

 

[Marc]

wonderful cloud formation

 

[Safeway]

They've stopped RUMBLING overhead now, so the dog has stopped SHAKING.

Looking forward to watching the fireworks from my bedroom window tonight.
