Southport Air Show 2016
10th September 2016
Southport celebrated it's 25th anniversary air show during September 2016.
'The first Southport Air Show was in September 1991, initially as a one-day event, but quickly grew in 1995 to a two-day event. Only one year has been missed – in 1997-when major seafront defences reconstruction prevented access to the waterfront. Largely the September ‘slot’ in the calendar has been kept throughout the 20 years, although this has led to poor weather curtailing or cancelling the display on two occasions at least.' [Brian Jones]
The weather for the 2016 was no exception, and the planned night flying on the Friday had to be cancelled. Saturday dawned with gusty winds and a low cloud base.
