Well I'm more than a little surprised that no one has yet posted a definitive listing of the Saturday display at Southport. I was driving down from Mull on the Saturday, intending to 'do' Southport on the Sunday. From the partial list of registrations (thanks to 'Barfleur') and the several excellent photo posts, this must be a near complete listing. Can anyone who took even partial logs please check for omissions, and those with cameras check all their images for aircraft not listed.
Thank you.

plus possibly a couple more, or is this listing complete? There are 15 listed here plus one below, but an earlier post indicated 'around 18' aircraft on the beach.
FLYING DISPLAY
G-GMPX MDH MD-800 Explorer, POLICE, fly-by along display line G-HILZ & G-RVMZ Van's RV-8, 'RV8tors' team "Fly2Help" G-IIRI Xtreme Air Sbach 300, "Warter Aviation Fuels" sponsored G-OFFO/3, G-ZEXL/1, G-ZXEL/2 & G-ZXLL/4, Extra EA.300/L 'The Blades' team G-PSST Hawker Hunter F.58A, fancy scheme G-ULUL/91 Rotosport UK Calidus, "Air Total" sponsored (gyroplane) - operated from the beach

PA474/KC:A Lancaster B.1 BBMF PL965/R (G-MKXI) Spitfire PR.XI, Hangar 11, PR blue PM631 Spitfire PR.XIX BBMF, PR blue PS915/- Spitfire PR.XIX BBMF, post war silver colours VX281/120:VL (G-RNHF) Sea Fury T.20S RNHF period colours XX543 (G-CBAB) Bulldog T.1, red/white period RAF training colours XZ176 Lynx AH.7 Army XZ692/670 Lynx HMA.8SRU Royal Navy 'Blackcat' special colours ZF239/RA:F Tucano T.1, special solo demonstration colours, 2 tone brown camouflage ZH853/83 Merlin HM.2 Royal Navy ZJ256/56 Squirrel HT.1 DHFS ZJ257/57 Squirrel HT.1 DHFS ZJ266/66 Squirrel HT.1 DHFS ZK306/BT Typhoon FGR.4 29 Sqdn
The 'Red Arrows' featured 9 x Hawk T.1, known serials: XX219, XX227, XX242, XX263, XX310, XX311 & XX325 plus 2 (likely drawn from XX319, XX323 & another). Unusual for 'Red 10' to require 3 Squirrel helicopters for liaison with Blackpool Airport, anyone confirm?
Did any of the civilian participants eg 'RV8tors' team operate off the beach too?
Considering I wasn't even there, not a bad participants listing - how about someone who was there filling in the gaps and completing the log ??
Additional info provided by 'Rafaleuk' incorporated into this listing.

viscount......
Thanks for the list. Can confirm the Squirrels brought the whole team in, not just "Red 10". The team spent some time meeting the public and signing autographs.
G-ULUL operated off the beach. All other flying participants flew in from elsewhere and did not land. Also logged G-AJKB Luscombe 8E & G-CERF Rotorsport UK MT-03 (gyroplane) on the beach. A total of 18 a/c noted on the beach at the start of the display.
Also present were "BS435" Spitfire replica and a Lynx marked "AAC".

I'm in Ireland at the moment visiting my grandparents. When I get back next week I'll have a look at my photographs and fill in anything that's missing

Hi all
Can confirm second BBMF Spitfire as PM631 and the RN Merlin as ZH853/83 which is now an HM.2.
Cheers
