Red Arrows Salcombe Wash-Out!!

What a disappointment!! Wandering around Salcombe in pouring rain for 6 hours for 32 seconds of Red Arrows action!!!

It seems the only reason they came was for insurance purposes. If they had not turned up they would have been liable for a refund of some sorts or the promise of a future show, albeit a reduced version.

Surely they could have done more than one fly-by of Salcombe estuary???

The whole day was confusing with no-one really knowing what roads were shut or where you could drive, the security was over the top with dogs and private security everywhere, what for?????

You have to feel for the organisers who were brave enough to organise this huge event.

On another note I've caught drift of some real problems in the Salcombe town regatta organising committee that could see the end of the event this year....more on this will follow...
