ONCE Southport has recovered from hosting this year's Flower Show, it's time to prepare for the Red Arrows.
The flying aces are confirmed to appear at the 16th Southport Air Show and Military Display.
On September 2 and 3, the RAF's aerobatic team will soar over the thousands of spectators expected to attend at the resort seafront.
The largest aviation event in the North West, the Air Show will feature manydifferent military and civilian aircraft for the public to get a closer look at.
If you prefer to keep both feet on the ground, visit the interactive military village with contributions from the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force.
Watch out also for army bands, military manoeuvres and the odd parachutist dropping from above.
Cllr Lord Ronnie Fearn, the borough's member for leisure and tourism, said: "The confirmation that the Red Arrows will be appearing at Southport again this year is great news.
