'Why don't AFC Bournemouth sponsor the air festival?'
Enviously looking across the bay from Bournemouth beach at another spectacular display by the Red Arrows at Swanage we too wondered why BCP can no longer afford anything as a summer highlight (Martin Thomas in Letters)? In two weeks time Eastbourne hosts an International Airshow with Red Arrows headlining on each of the four days - all cost neutral for the council and carbon compensated, they say. How do they do it and we can't in Bournemouth? As an extra plus we have an excellent airport with all facilities within minutes of our extensive beach display area and used by the Reds for other displays several times a year. Our remaining local bright spot must be having our Premier League football team in the heart of the town. I'm sure BCP Council is working closely with the football club in the exciting development of the Cherries stadium. As a keen fan pointed out that in the financial world of Premier League football sponsoring an airshow must rate as fairly small change? How about an AFC Bournemouth Air Festival? We live in hope!

‘Bye, Bro': British Fighter Jet, Stranded in India, Finally Leaves for Home
A British F-35B fighter jet that was stranded at an airport in southern India for more than a month over mechanical issues, becoming a local celebrity in the process, is finally making its way home. British engineers had struggled for weeks to fix the aircraft, which was unable to return to an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea after a flight in mid-June because of bad weather. It was diverted to Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in the state of Kerala for what proved a lengthy stay. The British High Commission in New Delhi said in a statement that an engineering team deployed to fix the aircraft in early July had managed to repair it, 'allowing the aircraft to resume active service.' The advanced jet, worth more than $100 million, was on its way to Darwin, Australia, according to an official at the Kerala airport, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the jet. The official said a crew of 14 people worked to repair to the jet's hydraulic and auxiliary power systems. The crew was set to be picked up by a Royal Air Force aircraft on Wednesday to return to Britain. The jet was under heavy security during its time at the airport, which experts said was necessary to protect its highly sensitive technology. The state-of-the-art plane, made by Lockheed Martin in Texas, is also used by a number of Britain's allies, including the United States. Airport staff members were not allowed to be near the hangar where the jet was being repaired, the airport official said. As the jet sat idle at the airport, it drew attention from amused locals, including the region's tourism department. Indians poked fun at the plane with memes, including a fake travel review of Kerala from the jet and a spoof listing for the plane's sale on a classified site. As news spread of the plane's impending departure, locals were quick to chime in again. On social media, users posted messages like 'Bye, bro,' and 'Keep visiting.' One smitten user even made an appeal for the plane to stay, writing: 'Please don't go. We loved you standing on the airport. Feelings had developed.' Jonathan Wolfe contributed reporting.
