After what would turn out to be our final Public display at #BournemouthAirFestival we spent a bit of time with Andy Donovan and the team from #TheCentreofAviationPhotography. An awesome sortie in some very typical "Grey Navy" weather. 🐈⬛️🐈⬛️ #BlackCatsDisplayTeam

As a mark of respect, we are withdrawing from the International Ayr Show this weekend. We hope everyone who was looking forward to seeing the Black Cats understands this decision following the tragic incident in the English Channel earlier this week
