I went on the Saturday and got very wet.
I took my daughter and her school friend we saw 3 helicopters before it was rained off and had a ride on the red arrows simulator.
but I did have a chat with my old ATC CO, as they had the squadron band playing down there, and he was hoping for me to come back as an adult instructor if only I had the time  :y

What a difference in the two days. We've a couple of guys in work today that went down on the Sunday and caught the sun big time. They're glowing so much I reckon they can be seen from space.

Your lucky. last years Sunderland air show ( saterday and sunday ) was canceld due to bad sight. 50 meters was the best due to fog. we only heard a tornado flying past and nothing more. :-/
but its free to watch as its direct on the coast road here. :y
