Red Arrows at Falmouth

Did anyone else see the show today? They're always superb, but I've never seen them quite so up close and personal before, even at air shows.

Saw plenty of RIBs out, but none that I recognised. I was with the kids in the Aerotec, we launched at Percuil to beat the traffic (great launch spot for SIBs btw).

Apologies for the lousy pictures. That's what you get using a phone in an Aquapac, must get one of those proper newfangled waterproof cameras!

Errr, yeah. We were in the inner harbour tied off of some rich pals with big 'trawlers'. Good wern' it?

By your pics, you were pretty close to us. Did you here Brad's chopper warming up during the show? Presumably the pilot opted against popping out of the docks with that lot tearing about the skies.

I did hear the helicopter and wondered whether it might make an appearance mid-display. I thought that a low level bird strike with one of the seagulls was another potential hazard!

Camping at Chateau Kernow this week. Seemed like a great plan yesterday, but with today's more authentic Cornish weather I am beginning to wonder...
