Crowds were left disappointed on Saturday

afternoon after the Red Arrows display was forced to cancel. The aerobatics display team were due to perform at noon, September 9, but conditions were described as "unsuitable" for close formation display flying.

He wrote: "We’re disappointed that we couldn’t display at the Southport Airshow, but unexpected heavy showers, localised to Blackpool meant the runway would not be safe for us to land on after the display. None of the other airfields close to Southport were available for use this weekend. "The brakes on a Hawk work in much the same way as a car. And like in a car, a wet surface massively increases braking distance. If we landed at Blackpool in the wet, we couldn’t guarantee being able to stop before the end of the runway."
