Thanks Stephen for showing us the air show. Shame it was so overcast, I saw them practicing here in the skies above me in Lincolnshire on Saturday morning, the skies were pure blue and the aircraft looked lovely in the clear skies especially with the red, white and blue smoke trailing behind. Shame the pier has closed there in Southport, I went on it last time I was in Southport but that was about 10 years ago.

Thanks for this one Stephen. I can remember when The Red Arrows flew very low along the prom in Blackpool during the 70's long before safety rules came in. They are still the star of any airshow, 🙂👍💓
@janobyrne2424Ай бұрын
Aww thanks Stephen really enjoyed that! The skills of those pilots are unbelievable! I don't do hights and think the wing walkers have a touch of insanity to do that. Hope you can cover the Blackpool air show and the Typhoon flies. 😊😊😊

There used to be an air show in Lowestoft in Suffolk, fairly near me. But they lost their funding. And it was a free event, and people going didn't contribute enough to keep it going.

Talking about BPB owning Pleasureland Southport, I was gutted when the Thompsons authorized the "sneaky" demolition of the wooden rollercoaster there, because I loved that coaster when I was younger. The airshow looked fun :)

It really kicked off about the loss of the sand lizards habitat. I really liked that rollercoaster even though it was dead slow.

If it was a normal July day the sky would have been perfect for the display and no winter 🥶 clothing needed. Oh blimey this global warming is blinking cold Stephen. Shame all the retailers have lost their business on the pier and really enjoy the penny arcade at the end of the. Going to be many years before we can funny a Southport pier walk. Southport visitor newspaper is keeping people informed. Well done for braving the weather and glad the rain stopped. Good show 👍

I thought I saw you in the crowd on the Sunday. I went last year on the Saturday and eventually turned around and went home due to being stuck in the huge traffic jam in the town and all the parking spaces full up, went back on the Sunday and got rained on. Much better this year, though £12 for the ticket and £10 for parking was very steep given Blackpool is free and I was at the airshow in Cleethorpes a couple of weeks ago for the Armed Forces weekend and that was also all free (except parking which is still less than £10). Previorsly you could be on the pier but the pier itself has been closed for a couple of years due to it being unsafe

Hello again Steven, hope you enjoyed your visit to our town on the other side of the bay.The pier as you know closed back in dec 2022 due to a complete lack of maintenance from sefton council. Makes my blood boil,they spend millions on a concrete shopping centre that's losing money every year over in Bootle yet can't find any money to save our iconic pier.the main attraction in visiting southport roting away.my wife and i on new years eve would do what we called "end of the year, end of the pier",we would take a bottle of champagne 🍾 down there to see the sun set (hopefully) for the last time of the year,who knows when we will ever get to do that again. Rant over, hope you enjoyed the airshow,nos back to your vlog.

Great video as usual, been to Southport a few times but never to airshow. Surely you can get to the beach or thereabouts if you don't pay? I was thinking it doesn't look as busy as Blackpool (due to having to pay I guess), but then again everyone is crammed around the Tower and North Pier in Blackpool, whereas Southport has a lot of space to spread out. Looking forward to Blackpool airshow next month!

14:50 14:50 Just wondering due to a couple of air disasters over the years that civilians on the pier would be against new health and safety laws , just a thought. Going back to the early 80's I was at Milden Hall US air force base for the air display the Red Arrows were present , tow of the aircraft did a very low fly by in opposite directions flying towards one another then flipped 90 degrees to avoid crashing , I only had the 110 Helina camera and got an almost perfect photo of them passing next to one another so NO health and safety 40 years ago.

Apparently the plans are in place for the work on the pier, tenders etc and contracts sorted, they are just waiting for funding to be finalised so they can give the go ahead for work to start. 13 million is a lot of money and that's just for the repairs more money will be needed for ongoing long term maintenance of the Southport pier. So not closed permanently but temporarily until funding is finalised and the pier has been made safe.
