Southport Airshow 7th September 2019 - Tigers Parachute Team and Richard Goodwin

The show opened with the Tigers Army Parachute Display Team.
The Tigers are the flagship team for the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, whose seniority stems from the Tangier Regiment of 1661 thus having the distinction of being the senior English Infantry Regiment of the line. Soldiers of the Regiment are recruited from Kent, Surrey, Sussex, London, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands. Members of The Tigers consist of volunteers from various battalions of the regiment.

The Tigers perform displays throughout the country, the majority of which would be carried out within the recruiting areas as mentioned above. The teams Officer Commanding is Capt Ian Wicks.

Looks like the clouds came over just as they jumped from approximately 5000ft - "Be the Best"





The sun shone again and next up we were entertained by the Richard Goodwin Jet Pitts, with high energy biplane aerobatics in a smoke filled arena. He opened with a great big smiley face, perfect :o).
