Spent a good three days in Eastbourne, first lot of pics taken on Friday.
Show opener was the Mirage 2000
Falcons couldn’t jump to due strong winds. Falcons Herc and Display Herc out to the east.
Display Herc
A really good display by John Romain in the Mk XVIII
Grob Tutor
John Taylor, Extra 300. Sounded really quiet compared to other Extras I’ve heard.
Like the Mirage, another late adition were The Blades.

Nice Shots Neal,
Went down to the seafront yesterday, but left before the end as the weather looked like it was taking a turn for the worst. Will try and post a few of my photos once I’ve downloaded them form the memory card.
Beachy Head always provides a good viewing point, not least of the Reds as they regroup and/or set up for the opposition maneouvers etc. I tend to watch from the seafront one year, and then watch from the BH/downs area the next – as a show it’s moved on a lot since the solus Red Arrows displays that started it all. It now draws in some unusual items too – the Mirage 2000 display yesterday was fantastic – probably better than the Typhoon in terms of abrupt changes in direction, reduced G/negative G-pushovers etc.
