Re: Duck!
A bit close, but YES I would have loved that! I love watching planes, especially fighter jets. My hubby is into aeroplanes in a big way, works with them too.
I've lost count of the number of times we've gone on holiday somewhere but its had to be within spitting distance of an airfield, if not, a low flying area!!!
We live a few miles from Woodford Airfield which has now closed down. Very sad. Lots of aircraft were built there, including the Lancaster and Vulcan. They used to have an annual airshow but that is now a thing of the past. Used to enjoy watching from our bedroom window.

You probably mean the Red Arrows but there are Red Devils who are a parachute display team.

Those were the days.
