The Red Arrows are due to perform in Salcombe this year! The date is the Saturday between Salcombe Town Regatta and Yacht Club Regatta week, which is the 9th of August - this is now confirmed.
This is what we have to look forward to:
It's about time we had a big event to compare to Dartmouth! We used to get the guy in his world war 2 plane doing stunts over the estuary but he seems to have disappeared, then we had a Chinook helicopter for a couple of years, which was quite good but lasted about 2 minutes and last year the Battle of Britain planes which were great but the Red Arrows are another thing altogether!!!!
So get booking your restaurant places now as I imagine it will be a popular night!
Also after last years disastrous fireworks from Snapes it has been confirmed that they are back on the barge this year - good decision.

may be you should take part in the local comunity instead of just gobbing off about what others give or arrange
I will publish every comment in the spirit of the internet but the last one is slightly ironic seeing as it's a "gobbing off" post....was it your idea to move the fireworks to Snapes then?
Yesterday was an interesting day for Salcombe. So much promise but in the end almost a complete washout. Speaking as a former military pilot, I always like to see the Red Arrows perform, however I think that bringing them to Salcombe was ill conceived if well intentioned. We have more than enough people visiting Salcombe during Regatta week without burdening the town with an extra number of undefinable quantity. The resoucres of the town, the harbour staff, the yacht club and the local police are stretched far enough as it is. Before anyone makes an immediate request for next year, maybe there ought to be a town meeting to discuss it and take a vote.
