this weekend keeps getting better and better Grin

with the events of yesterday, i have now just had the entire red arrows team fly over in a easterly direction at about 1500 feet:) they wernt going overly fast so they were in sight for quite a while Grin

it started with a low rumble thought it was just another jet flying over, then suddenly look out the window and bam the entire team goes over, any ideas where they were heading? didnt someone say duxford was this weekend?

Hi Craig. You're certainly seeing some interesting sights. The Reds have a pretty hectic schedule. According to their official programme they were down my way yesterday at Goodwood. http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/dates.html
Today they were due at Kidwelly, South Wales & East Fortune, Scotland. Tomorrow at Wirral, Birkenhead then back down to your part of the world at Culdrose on Wednesday. Next weekend at RIAT Fairford with an extra display at Silverstone for the British F1 Grand Prix. Then the one I'm looking forward to, Friday 25th at my home town, Worthing. Grin

sadly i wont be able to get to fairford now, we worked it out that it would cost my dad £80 before we would even get inside the gates Undecided

when you add £33 a ticket so thats £66, then the petrol to get to hear from yeovil and then up to fairford and back to yeovil, thats a high cost. then when you consider buying things inside isnt going to be cheap, that one day could total up well over £100.
still got yeovil in september, hopefully the red arrows are going to make a display there this year, they are tentitavly scheaduled, but it isnt confirmed as they are so busy already, as you can see from those example given by hagar:)
imagine how many hours are gonna be on those planes by the end of the season

We usually reserve the tickets for RIAT as early as possible if we are going otherwise it cost alot of money as you said.
