Wind, rain and some red aeroplanes

For the last few years, the climax of the Great North Run in South Shields has been celebrated and marked by a spectacular aerobatic display from the Red Arrows. Sadly this year, poor visibility, low cloud and rain put paid to anything more than a handful of fly-bys which was a shame for the expectant crowds gathered around the mouth of the Tyne. Yesterday's inclement weather undoubtedly caused safety concerns and given it's a free spectacle few can really complain. Hopefully next year will bring some better weather and we'll see them at their best!
