No idea if this has been mentioned previously; an interesting view of egkb on Google maps currently. Taken during a recent AirFair (static VC10 – 2010?). Eight red arrows rolling out along the runway with one (red 8 judging by the spacing) apparently doing a go around to the northeast of the runway threshold.

Nice memories of what was one of the best airshows on the calendar.

Would that not be a formation landing where the pull to the left and right edges of the runway and bunch up at the far end from the approach before turning around in sync,before Red one comes down he middle with each then following on in order back to their parking area ?

I wonder how many other places on google maps have the Reds on?
They have been at Blackpool for a year or two anyway 🙂
