Re: Minehead Summer Festival
Park & Ride from Bishops Lydeyard & travel on the West Somerset Railway (mostly steam-hauled that day).
There's very little info around for this event, but I've managed to find some basic timings, which may or may not be accurate:
11:00 - Market stalls open
12:00 - Flying starts as a Sea King helicopter lands on the seafront at Warren Road upper car park
12:15 - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
13:00 - Red Arrows
14:00 - Red Devils parachute team to close the aerial part of the event
I can't find any timings for the other items mentioned above, i.e. Tucano, Hunter, Wing Walkers and RV8tors

Re: Minehead Summer Festival
Raining at the moment.
Re: Minehead Summer Festival
Dull, grey and overcast with occasional light drizzle, but several thousand people lined the sea-front.
BBMF cancelled due to weather.
PA announced Reds 13:30, then later announced 13:45, then postponed to 14:30 due to weather ... then again to 14:50 ... then cancelled due to 700ft cloudbase. The crowds dispersed and everyone left.
Minehead Summer Festival Air Show thus comprised: a couple of fly-pasts by an RAF SAR SeaKing and the arrival of Red 10 in the Squirrel. With a couple of exceptions, the sea-front 'market stalls' were all charity stalls. All in all, very much a non-event.

Did the Hunter and Tucano get cancelled?
