They come every year and give a display in support of the Lifeboat Station. My kids love it (my daughter who is 3 now wants to be the first woamn Red Arrow pilot). We were late getting there because of traffic and I dropped the kids off with my wife as the dispaly had already started. By the time I parked I only had enough time to jump on someone's garden wall (thank you kind people) and get a hanful of shots.

Makes me proud to be British seeing the best aerobatic team in the world! :D

Thanks John and Marie.

Marie with the last two I was hoping to show how close these guys get to eachother. I like to think it worked quite well.
