Last Thursday and Friday again saw the best start possible to the summer holidays – The Lowestoft Air Show. Each year the show gets better and this year was no exception.The Lowestoft Air Show was the largest attended attraction in East Anglia last year and the winner of the Suffolk Tourism Award 2008 for the best Festival or Event.On Thursday, the show got off to a great start with the Princess of Wales Royal Rgt. who are one of the country’s premier freefall parachute display teams. Personal favourites included F-16 Fighting Falcon, Avro Vulcan XH558 and the KC-135 Stratotanker.Thursdays show finished with the Red Arrows. One of the highlights of their display is the solo manoeuvre performed by the synchro pair who race towards each other at 800mph before passing only 100ft apart.Just as the Red Arrows finished their display the skies opened and we were caught in a torrential downpour. It rained so hard that my digital camera, which was in my pocket underneath the waterproof, has broke. Hopefully I will be able to retrieve the pictures from the memory card when I get a card reader.This was the Red Arrows last year.Fridays show started with the Red Arrows. Again an excellent range of displays was planned for the day. However, the weather was not so kind disrupting the displays throughout the day. Again for the second day in a row we experienced a torrential downpour, which may have been even harder than the previous day.I only got two photos on Friday using my phone camera, which was taken minutes before the storm.
