Southport Air Show, 21st September 2014
| The weather was poor on the Saturday, and displays were cancelled or very restricted, but on the Sunday the weather was fine and everybody was able to do their best show. This was the last UK show for the Canadian Lanc, and the last UK show of the year for the Red Arrows, who were doing a show in Bordeaux later the same day at the start of a Mediterranean tour. It was also the last show ever for an Army Lynx. |
