I’ve just found out that it is Blackpool airshow this weekend, and think to take my Red Arrow and Spitfire mad seven year old. Has anyone been? Do you watch from the prom or beach? I suppose the planes fly over the sea, just off the beach? Any advice?

I’ve never watched the Airshow itself but go past the Airport, heading for the Motorway, turn into Morrisons and head to the top right of the car park, almost level with the main road.

The Red Arrows and the support vehicles are normally at that end of the airport about 5.30 onwards and you can see them through the fence off Morrisons Car Park.

The best view point is at the beach/prom between the piers. Take some deck chairs or just sit on the steps on the prom. I went last year, having never been to an airshow before, and was blown away. You can see some stuff at the airport but it’s better to see them in the air.

Thankyou, will do

southport is next month aswell vulcan will be there

That’ll explain the Lancaster flying over my house today,

take your brolly its a bit wet there tonight and doesn’t look clever for tomorrow.
