SOUTHPORT Air Show and Military Display, September 11 & 12, will once again be jetting into the resort this year. If you enjoy watching the colourful artistry of the Red Arrows or listening to the loud roar of jet engines overhead, then why not enter this week's Prizetime.
The spectacular show, now in its 13th year, is one of the country's premier aviation events and attracts more than 200,000 people every year. The air show and military display starts at 10am on both days with displays from the Southport Model Aero Club followed by the large aircraft at 1 pm.
Among the highlights, at the seafront, is a simulated battle on the beach with special effects from the team behind the film Saving Private Ryan and the return of the legendary display team, the Red Arrows.
Visitors will enjoy a comprehensive programme on both days. Military and civilian aircraft, including fast jets, vintage aircraft, helicopters, aerobatic and model aircraft, military manoeuvres, wing walkers and parachute displays are on the agenda.
On the beach, the Army Village' is twice the size of last year with features including armoured vehicles, artillery and assault course. Other ground entertainment includes interactive and commercial trade stands, the Rock FM arena and bands.
