Blackpool Airport variety:- RAF Typhoon arriving today(8th July), for the Southport Airshow, Hawker Hurricane (carrying Polish AF markings) departing 1st July after visiting Hangar42(WW2 Museum) and an ‘adapted’ B727 of the Oil Spill Response fleet overhead on a training exercise

[BlackpoolAviationSociety @BlackpoolAviat1]

@ladyrobinbudd Yes, I believe the Canadian Lancaster is the only other ‘airworthy’ example;(unless someone knows differently ?); and the two of them (side by side) made fantastic photos when the Canadian Lanc visited these shores.

BBMF Avro Lancaster departing Blackpool Airport to display at the Southport Airshow (note the airport’s historic WW2 control tower, still in use to this day - in the background) … two fitting tributes to that era, side by side.

[BlackpoolAviationSociety @BlackpoolAviat1]

@osmug60 Globally, I think it is one of only two ‘airworthy’ examples that still exist; it’s great to see it in our part of the country.

[BlackpoolAviationSociety @BlackpoolAviat1]

The Red Arrows arriving in their usual style at Blackpool Airport; where they will be based throughout the weekend for their displays at Southport Airshow.
