Quote from Thanet District Council website this morning: “Preview of two days of thrilling free entertainment - Full programme available soon.”
Click here for the page on their website, as the big event starts in less than half an hour they are cutting it a bit fine. They don’t appear to properly understand the meaning of the words publicity and news.
Update having scoured the web for some of the secrets of Margate’s Big event
From a lady at the Margate tourist info office (she was apparently reading them from the event programme) - at least the start times are the same!
Flying times are 3.30 - 5.30 p.m. on Saturday (Reds closing) and 2.50 - 4.30 p.m. on Sunday
This in response to an email to the council to ask the times for the "3.30 - 5pm on Saturday and 2.50pm - 4.20pm on the Sunday"so 30 mins shorter than stated above, hope its a mistake on their part
This from the Red Arrows website
1508 - Reds arrive MANSTON
1648 - Reds depart MANSTON
1700 - Reds display MARGATE (Margate Airshow 2009, Kent)
1728 - Reds recover MANSTON
1915 - Reds depart MANSTON
I gave up in the end and went to Ramsgate Tourist information to buy a program so I would know what is going on, there is a sign on the door saying; closed due to unforeseen circumstances and the interactive touch screen out side says the information is to follow.
You couldn’t make it up could you.
