    Blackpools Free Airshow this weekend.

    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...times-14916192

    All the usual culprits, typhoon to close on Saturday, the Red Arrows Sunday.

    Just don't rely on Northern Fail to travel.

    So everything I was able to see free of charge from numerous vantage points in Southport with the added expense of travelling to Blackpool.

    Aviation is one of my passions.I love the rumble and roar of big jet engines and the child-like wonder of planes in the sky. However, with that said I would not ever consider a trip to Blackpool again after visiting just a couple of weeks ago. A labrinth of filthy backstreets riddled with Spice smokers and lager louts and the promenade in need a lick of paint at best!

    I will hold fire for the 2019 Fairham Air Tattoo and our little local display next year which I will happily pay to see.

    Where is the 2019 Fairham Air Tattoo?
    It has been said that when helping people change their behaviour – “the spirit in which help is offered” is the most important aspect, more than the degree of skills and knowledge of the helper!

    Great point and well made, Chris. I'm not sure. I think I will do better to go to the Fairford one instead, probably a lot better.

    Looks like a big show, bigger than ours

    It is my understanding that is the largest airshow in the world, which at first I struggled to believe as I know America like to put on some big airshows, but alas it is true. I have enrolled onto the ticketing list for next year and I certainly intend on going to see it. It looks fantastic, there are some great videos on Youtube from this years show.

    Indeed. You'd have to pay me a significant sum of money to step foot in that cesspit.

    Duxford and Cosford also host excellent air shows.
    I'm only happy when it rains....

    Start saving now and go for the arrival day and departure days as well.

    The last time I went the Yanks had the new B1B the B52, U2 & The SR71 Blackbird, it cost me a fortune in film and developing.
    National Express used too run day trips down there from Liverpool.
