Crowds flock to triumphant return of Southport Air Show

9th July 2022

Thousands of people flocked to Southport Beach today to witness the spectacular return of the Southport Air Show.

Culminating in a full-strength display from the Red Arrows, the first-day show was a stunning return to form for Southport’s flagship tourism events after the worst of the coronavirus pandemic.

While those who attended gave a good account of the show, it was less popular with town-centre motorists, with some reporting two hours of gridlock in and around the Town Centre.

Inside the gates, however, the show was genuinely action-packed for hours, packed with hanging planes, parachutes, model aircraft, an eccentric Korean announcer and death-defying displays.
