When Happybunny was about 4 or 5 we saw a red arrows display at the tall ships event in Greenock, a few days later she was a school and told the teacher she was going to be a surgeon and on her day off fly with the red arrows, she was obviously impressed!!!
my mum and dad bought their old house in lincolnshire, partly cos, when the battle of britain memorial flight took off, they flew in formation over their house ........ was a wonderful sight
Ha Lynda I was just thinking a similar thing, at our old house just outside Bedford we were under the same flight path and wow was that impressive the noise was absolutely indescribable

They always do a show in August in Dawlish and they fly over my nieces house, this year it was my great nieces third birthday on the same day and someone said ' wow how did you manage to book them for her birthday'.They look fantastic.

that's funny, was going to describe the noise, but found it indescribable too ...... they are wonderful aren't they
We used to get the Red Arrows here nearly every year, there used to be an airshow at Barton Airport near us which is a really tiny airfield, but we used to get Vulcan's the Red Arrows, jump jets & all sorts flying in. They don't have it anymore because of cost & health & safety issues so I think you're really lucky Lottie Dolly to see them by chance!
I prefer the sound of the merlin engine - think Spitfire wooooooo but no doubting the Dead Sparrows are pretty special - oh and did you know we have two Kiwi pilots in the squadron at the moment.....my Kiwi pal was totally blown away and thrilled by that when she came here for Air (Families) Day
The Arrows are based just a couple of miles from me, so I see them practising on a regular basis. Even in the 16 years I've lived here though, I've never lost that 'oooh!' feeling! We also see the BBMF flying over quite often, which is even more magical (and a bit surreal!).
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
