Eastbourne Airshow

We arrived after a good journey down with lovely scenery, coming into the town via Sovereign Bay and were dropped off right near the pier which was very handy indeed for those wanting to see the air show. It proved to be a very hot day, but we enjoyed the show, but sadly the Red Arrows were stuck in Canada due to adverse weather conditions and a couple of mechanical breakdowns on the day.

The Royal Navy Black Cats helicopter display team gave a very good display as did the solo helicopter pilot. The bi-plane formation of 4 display was excellent too as there was no wind, so kept a good even patten in the sky.

The Jet Pitts flown by Richie Goodwin was fantastic as he went straight up high and did some fabulous twists and turns.

The last plane to fly was a small white jet that came from the Beachy Head direction at a very high speed and low to the water, a great display followed to finish the show. Luckily, we found shade under the pier from the clear sunny day.

The beach was bustling and there were plenty of stalls for food and liquid refreshments along the top of the beach.
