For anyone in Lymington tomorrow there is to be a Red Arrows display at 5.30 as part of the 70 D Day anniversary, the display will be centred over Newtown Park, the last time they displayed there was five years ago, I think, and we had a great view from N pontoon at LYH as they seemed to be using it as their flight line. Fingers crossed the weather is OK.

Thank you for that. We headed down and the display was fantastic right over the marina.

I've seen the Red Arrows a few times now but the display above Lymington Yacht Haven today was something else! Fan bloody tastic was everyone's thoughts and being so close to them as they flew above us at a million miles an hour was brilliant.

A big round of applause to all of the pilots.

Ha! Great minds think alike!

I motored down from Beaulieu and watched from the water. We were the only motor boat out there. Great show.

One of the planes flew right over us. I am sure he did it for our benefit because he didn't need to be on that exact line.
