It’s seafront displays I’m tryiong to trace the Evening Echo do have a seach function on thier website but it only go’s back a decade or so, an E-mail to the editor had no result as they do not have the facility/resorce to look/let people look.

The Red Arrows display was 1978 was bale to track down a batted copy of the pull out supplement previewing the 1986 airshow! there is a tiny photo of the Gants banking round, with the subscript red Arrows displaying in 1978.

Cheers for the help

Why not have a look in Southend library? I’m sure that they would have copies of the old newspapers (probably on Microfiche). Most major public libraries do. Just a suggestion.
