Hide AdIn a statement on Twitter, the Red Arrows said: “Unfortunately, our display at Southport Air Show has been cancelled due to a very wet runway at the operating base of Blackpool Airport and low cloud, unsuitable for close formation display flying.”
It wasn’t all disappointment though as fans still got to see the incredible team in a flypast.
The air show continues today (Sunday, September 10) with the RAF Chinook Display Team and flights from Spitfire and a Lancaster Bomber.
