Bournemouth Air Show

We bought a couple new lawn chairs for our holidays but when they arrived we realised they weighed a ton so not the best to take out like to the airshow. When we arrived we had only 3 chairs for the 4 of us but my plan was to buy a smaller lawn chair from one of the trade stalls. Roger and I started walked the displays at the airshow and after having walked 1 1/2 miles finally found one to rent. After we hauled it back to where we had left Ann and Jayme sitting we settled in for the show.

News reports said that over 1.3 million people had attended the 4 day event and boy was that evident from the amount sharing the beach with us...but that didn't deter us from having a great afternoon.

Unfortunately the Red Arrows were not scheduled for the day however some x-red arrow pilots had formed a new group called the Blades and they were spectacular. The event ended with the Misdemeanour flight followed by a rather sad Navy salute.
