Southport Airshow day 2 Sunday 10th July 2022

[stemai]

I decided last minute to go to the airshow to see the Koreans and to get the typhoon in the special scheme.

Sadly the typhoon was in the normal grey colour today









Always nice to see the battle of Britain













And then the most disappointing display I've ever seen. They were nearer to Blackpool than southport during there very short and poor display.





I left before the red arrows came on to beat the ques at the train station.

All in all not a bad few hours with 11 new ones going in the book

Thanks for looking

I'm glad I went on Sunday rather than Saturday, as it was warmer and sunnier. It would have been pretty grim if it had rained, and of course there were no static aircraft to look at. The Typhoon display was outstanding, helped by loads of condensation flashes. My favourite, though, was the MiG. I agree with the other contributors about the Black Eagles - nice colour scheme but the display was a bit pedestrian. Perhaps they were limited by fuel, having come from Boscombe Down. All in all, an enjoyable air show.
