I watched it with my Mum in law from the balcony of the Residential home where she lives, she just loves the Reds.


The Red Arrows had to cancel their display today at Barry frown
Poor visibility at display time of 12.00.
Second year running bad weather has spoiled it.
Went with Ray and we debated going to the Paignton display but a bit far in the tome remaining! Alternative was a drive back west via Llantwit Major to a pub near Monknash for a very nice lunch. Returned home via Porthcawl.
The weather improved soon after 12.00 but too late for Red Arrows....time slot was missed.....Cardiff airport ( a couple of miles away) was closed for their time slot and couldn't be altered. Maybe a trip to Weston Super Mare on June 18th for their display there at Weston Air Festival?


Sorry to hear that I wish you better luck at Weston.

They were on from 1530 for 15 minutes +/-.

They did the flat display as the cloud base was low with intermittent squalls.
