Finally got my internet back after changing companies, great to see the pictures from the airshow as well. Shame Saturday had so many gaps though!
October should be a good month with Exercise Hawsers Link at Altcar & hopefully somethings from the fly navy event heading north.
Today:
Tutor 'Cranwell 41' landed
Firefly 'Barkston 23' G-BWXR landed

Just one aircraft - the Seafire if I'm right in thinking. Rest are Shawbury or ship based.

I presume the Merseyside chopper is still unserviceable as I heard the Lancs County c/s Police 21 working in the Anfield area this evening Wednesday 21st, then rtb Warton.

Cheers Alex, it got a bit confusing trying to note down what was coming in whilst taking pictures of the formation (which was too far away!)
I popped down yesterday to the 03 end & the sea king in MK1 colors was still there.
