Default red arrows anyone?

anyone else see them today, mr lonerwolf you might have depending on what side of zee island you were on.

herd from a good source that they would be doing a fly by over Lymington in the forest and instead got a 30 min air display , was ace they pulled out all the stops and did the lot smoke and all, not seen that since i was a wee lad. Did their stuff and then shot off west and from where i was i could see them doing more over Bournemouth was mint

i took some clips on my phone and out off all of them there is only one where you can see anything and i only got 2 of them flying, my friend had his superly dooper camera and he got all the bomb bursts and the formations ect

Pain in the bum. Though they wanted a ceiling of 8000 ft but we kept them at 2000 ft so I guess you saw more of them
