The post you are reporting:
I see with a kind of resentful jealous and gutted air, that the Red Arrows are appearing in Folkestone this coming weekend and will be doing a full display. Oh the humiliation!! Why can Folkestone, who are celebrating nothing at all, have a full display by the fab Red Arrows, and Dover, which was in huge centenary celebration of Bleriots first flight across the channel, couldnt get them at all. Well, couldnt get them to do any more than a three second flypast.
If this doesnt just take the biscuit. I feel very sorry indeed for the literally thousands and thousands of people who turned up on Dover seafront expecting a display. Lets not shilly shally here...they were expecting a display!
Casting a glance back, the celebrations were good on the ground but the aerial content was extremely weak. Draft in some outside 'high flyers' and I use the term loosely, who promised this and that, but in the end had to give refunds to those who turned up the Duke of Yorks and paid £10 for the privilege...as nothing flew...or very little. As it was a paid event they should have had a plan b if the wind got up!
Anyway there we are, Gripe over. But I feel both Dover and more importantly all those people on the seafront were let down by poor aerial content and a three second flypast. And now...Folkestone gets the full monty...strewth!!
