Amadeus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Just a reminder: Red Arrows today at 4.15pm over Douglas Bay (only display this year). I think I'll walk up to Douglas Head this time, and if you wanna be home before midnight, I recommend you do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Chester St car park for me this time I think! Half an hour isn't long enough to get to Douglas Head from the end of the England match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobe Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I remember hearing an interview with the Red Arrow people, they have a busier schedule this year, due to doing numerous events throughout the year for the queens 80th. Thats the only reason there is just the one display this year. As for the date, I don't know, tho the powers that be do seem to have moved some stuff around, the fair was late, the fireworks were early etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THRILLER Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I watched them from the roof of my car on the prom just up from colours, took a few photos with my NOKIA 6230i..not very good but they will do. Not many people down there but i think that was down to people watching that bloody football team at home and couldnt be bothered heading down the prom.Alot of em would have been in pubs drinking and to peed to drive.. Its great when people stand there waiting for more not realising that its finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
