The opening act today was the Red Arrows at noon, or close to, and that's good as it gets everyone there on time. You can see that in support of the upcoming NHS Stoptober campaign Red 1 decided to quit smoking for the day. OK, that's not actually true. And it's also why they were a few minutes late. There was a technical fault just before departure so they had to grab the spare plane which isn't fitted with the special smoke unit, so we got to see something a bit more unusual today. Irrespective of the smoke, it was a sparkling display and a joy to watch. Thanks chaps!
