Hi,
The reds will probably be the only Mil Aircraft in Blackpool for the show.
The fastjets are currently at Liverpool.

[Flyingmonster]

Just want to wish everyone a great trip to the show. Im not gonna make it due to family problems. Enjoy!!

[TYS1977]

Have a great day today folks
Hope the weather fairs up for later,it's looking a bit grim here in Barrow at the mo
Does anyone know if the Lanc will be displaying with the BBMF and if so will it be in Blackpool for the night?

Kindest regards
Tys

I believe it will be the Dakota, she appears at a little show near me (Middlewich) in an hour, then heads up to Southport, before overnighting in Liverpool, she then displays again tomorrow does a fly by in Kendal again in Nottingham before returning to Coningsby. She appears to be on her own too (IE no Hurricane or Spit in support)
Hope this helps
