I was working at the Bristol balloon fiesta today, and would like to say the highlight of the show today was the display by the Red Arrows.
I have seen many Reds displays over several years, and this one was a far better routine than I have seen before. The moves seemed very modern with only the diamond nine seeming to be familiar from the past. The display was also enhanced as the aircraft were directly over the heads of the crowd (as there was no runway to offset from, and also a very scattered crowd). Not only this, but off to one side of the fiesta were a line of hills which made it even more impressive for the display to be carried out at as low a level as some of the moves were:ok:
All of the other team members I was working with were also very impressed, as were the vast majority of the crowd (many of whom left the event just after the display)
Thanks for brightening my day:)
