LL formations over RAF Lichfield

At about 1725 hrs 8 "reds" flew over ex RAF Lichfield this afternoon 1,000ft or so at a guess. This is on top of two Harrier formations just prior to RIAT along the same lines. Am I just lucky to see these three or we in line for a little more LL action over the old airfield where I am now working.. ?
Thanks for the "shows" so far, though a little more warning would be nice
Cheers Derek

Reds I believe were en route Blackpool for some festivities in the NW this weekend.

The g/f phoned me an hour ago to say that the Reds and others were giving her one heck of a display in Rhyl [N Wales] Apparently, it was a garden festival at Kimnel Castel.

Yes, Fradley it is The reason I posted was that the LL traffic mentioned did not seem to be following the usual Lichfield Corridor path and was WAY below the FL140. It would be nice to think there may be more to come.
Thanks for the replies,
Derek

The National Memorial Arboretum is quite close to Fradley & there have been some low level passes over this by RAF Aircraft aswell as various Warbirds (normally the BBMF).
