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

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

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.
