Blackpool Airshow
Each year in August there is an Airshow in Blackpool over the sea. Last August a few members met up to photograph the action which takes place over the beach near Blackpool Tower
There were a variety of aircraft on show. Including stunt planes
The closing act were the RAF Red Arrows
There was a range of military craft on show ranging from the iconic Battle of Britain flight though Chinook helicopters to the modern Typhoon.
It was a nice sunny day which presented some photography problems but made for a good day out.
There are lots of good locations available from the airport all along the sea front and from the piers near to the Tower
Blackpool Airshow History
