I shall try and get a few photos from work as the planes fly overhead but it's not the best of vantage points

I expect it is all down to availability and cost,Clacton and Cromer have their shows the same day,so it is easier for the planes to do 2 shows very close to each other,normally on the Friday the Red Arrows stay at Norwich Airport and fly to the shows from there.

Also today is the family show at RAF Marham and the stars are the Vulcan and the Wellingtons so its another chance for the 2 shows to be done whilst the planes are in the area.

Lowestoft always had a Air Show which 1000's went to the town for the day,but they cancelled it after several years due to the cost.

Managed to grab a few shots of the Red Arrows and the Typhoon today.

I wondered which airshow it was 'paired' with, thanks
