Blackpool Air Show is closing in by the hour and with that, a chance to get up, close and personal with a Red Arrows jet.
With its distinctive red livery, the Hawk jet will take pride of place in the Air Show Village on the Tower Festival Headland, and will be situated between the RNLI and Central Pier, giving visitors a unique opportunity to climb into the cockpit and get a taste of what it is like to be a pilot of one of the most recognisable planes on the planet. The Red Arrows will then be opening the Air Show on both days, providing an extraordinary curtain-raiser over the Blackpool Tower and seafront.
South of Central Pier there will also be a display from Lancashire Fire and Rescue, with the team on hand to show you around the fire engines and pick-up truck as well as giving out recruitment information.
