Here is a "heads up" in case anyone is interested

Its a free event and all the action takes place on the seafont over the beach. It will be my first airshow and will be taking my 400D along to see what we can capture. Looking forward to seeing the famous "Red Arrows" who will be on both days at noon. :)

I did see a timetable on one of the Airshow Forums but can't find it at the moment....

As far as i know the Red Arrows kick the show off at 12 then there's a 30 minute break from 1pm to 1.30 when the rest of the programme starts.
