Really glad I've found this foum

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

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

Looks grim out of the window here but sitll going to head up... today looks slightly better than tomorrow

Southport Radio on 132.900 for those in the area

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
Ian

From my scribbled notes (so require conf)
Arriving at Blackpool for Southport have been,,,,,,,,,,,,,

ZJ256 & ZJ275 Squirel DHFS Shawbury 20' / Red 10 & Red 11.

Reds.......
XX227 / 237 / 242 / 260 / 264 / 266 / 294 / 306 / 308 / 322 Hawk T1 RAF 'Red Arrows'.

Edit : All confirmed (I had 266 down as 268 on my first post).

XX237 Remained at Blackpool during the Southport display.

I don't suppose any body has a rough display time for the Dakota do they? I've just been to Middlewich for their WW2 day, but the kids were moaning they were cold so I came home again!! (If thet decide to do the show again next year I shall go again as it was facinating, a lot of the towns folk were wandering round in period costumes along with the re enactment society that was present.
The reason I ask is because it usually transits straight over our house on it's way to Southport from Middlewich.

It's been tippin down here since 5pm and it's still going,
Does anyone have any ideas how many aircraft are staying over at Blackpool tonight ,also can anyone confirm if the BBMF was a Dakota or the Lanc?

Kindest regards
Mark
