Had a very enjoyable day today, I hadn't planned on going today but I'm glad I did. I think the Reds not being there did affect the crowd as I did see spaces on the crowd line and for Joe Public that's a big miss, but nothing Southport could do about it, and in my opinion very bad form from the Reds as this is recognised by most as the last major show of the season in the UK (I know we have Duxford next week but that's usually before Southport).
The show itself I was happy with although it seemed to be shorter in length than usual, the Bronco going U/S was a big disappointment for me, I think I must be a jink for them as it always seems to go U/S or be a no show when I attend a show it's at
.
Highlights for me Sally B I thought was excellent today and it seemed better than what you get at Duxford, perhaps it was a different backdrop that made it. Buchon and Spitfire pair very good and nice to see outside of Duxford. Peter T in the P51 was his usual polished act. BBMF Lancaster, well that only has to turn up to get me excited. I know everything else displayed well but nothing that was really memorable for me.
As said a very enjoyable day, I didn't get home late for a change, sat down with a nice cuppa for 6.30pm. Oh and it was bloody cold stood on the crowd line. Some photos to come later in the photos thread.
