Anyone been today? I had a couple of hours there with the bairn before. Enjoyed it but a bit too busy for my liking trying to get the pushchair through the crowds.

 

Highlight for me had to be when the red devils were just about to land and the commentator said how they 'love to jump for the big Newcastle....er sorry, Sunderland crowd.' :) the world famous Sunderland eh?

Last year was a laugh when my mate went down and didn't get to see anything for the sea fret. I was sitting in the sunshine in Consett having a few tins when the red arrows flew right over the house. Made me laugh anyway.

I hope a f***ing harrier jump jet crashes onto the c***s on Roker sea front and kills hundreds. And before you think I'm being a total t*** I'd hope the pilot managed to eject safely.

what if the pilot was a mackem ?

Is this the most notable event, place or person related to Sunderland?  I'm struggling to think of anything or anyone bigger to come out of it.

 

Steve Cram is from South Shields isn't he?

Jarrow I think.

The reason S'land was selected because there is little civil traffic over it and no military at all.  The USAF airdisplays of the 90's were absolutely massive.

forgot it was on, but did see a chinook over shields today.

 

Aye, seen that. You live in shields mate?

 

Was driving home from Shields Firday after work(4pm ish) and a huge military plane was Newcastle bound followed by what looked like a Harrier.

 

Some b'tard was doing flybys over my house at 6am Saturday morning too....... :kinnear:
