Southport 2019

[Mooshie1956]

6th -8th September. Friday is an evening show.

First confirmed participants.

Typhoon.
BBMF Dakota, Hurricane and Spitfire.
Tutor.
Tucarno.

[Wrexham Mackem]

All except the Tutor are displaying Friday night. The Typhoon and BBMF especially will look stunning in the sunset - so fingers crossed for that magic Southport light once again.

[Mooshie1956]

Black cats, confirmed all 3 days.

[Chris G]

Blades added, just for a change!

[Skylinerworld]

What are the chances they will add something completely out of the ordinary and exciting? Really hope so...

[Chris G]

Well last year we had the Blenheim, Spitfire pair, Matadors and Shuttleworths Anson so fingers crossed we get something different new and exciting. The Thunderbolt would be great, got my fingers crossed for that.

[Chris G]

Nice addition that.

[Chris G]

Rich Goodwin and his Muscle Pitts added. First appearance at Southport I think for him.

[Chris G]

Viggen and Draken added, plus a couple of other things.

Viggen and Draken added, plus a couple of other things.

Nice, presumably denying Zeltweg the Draken....

[Wrexham Mackem]

What a cracking bit of news this is. Its made my day! The prospect of Draken and Viggen in that Southport light is mouth-watering. If we could buy the weather I'd be passing the hat round. Cross everything folks!

(The Gazelle Squadron pair and Southport perennials The Tigers para team were the other two updates btw)

[Mooshie1956]

Full list
We're very pleased to bring you amazing additions to our line up for Southport Air Show this year!

Air Show favourites The Tigers Army Parachute Display Team will display all 3 days, and for the first time in Southport The Gazelle Squadron Display Team, Swedish Air Force Historic Flight Saab J35 Draken & Saab J-37 Viggen

Not bad for a third rate show as some would have you believe.

[capercaillie]

Where would they normally operate from for the show?

[Mooshie1956]

Where would they normally operate from for the show?

I would think either Blackpool or Liverpool, don't think they would get in at Woodvale.

[The Baron]

Viggen and Draken added, plus a couple of other things.

Nice, presumably denying Zeltweg the Draken....

They have two Drakens on strength. A single and a twin seat. Whether they have two qualified pilots on the other hand...

Cheers, only interested if its the two seat Viggen of course.

Indeed, hence my suggestion and the logistics of operating at 2 very separate locations the same weekend.

[HeyfordDave111]

oh, after being very 'M-eh' at the thought of throwing bucket loads of dosh at attending a (in my mind) lacklustre Fairford, the thought of a Draken and Viggen, plus Typhoon, T-33, etc over the beach at Southport really does enthuse me a lot. I'm in!

[chrisward123]

Brilliant news today.
Nipped into Blackpool airport today, they are 90% sure the Viggen,Draken & T-33 will be based there for the weekend - along with usual stuff.

[Chris G]

Three more additions, Wingwalkers, Otto the helicopter and the mighty P-47 Thunderbolt!
