Volunteering with the Lytham St Annes Spitfire Display Team - Hangar 42, Blackpool Airport
In July 2015 the Lytham St Annes Spitfire Display Team took over the lease of Hangar 42, Blackpool Airport. This original Bellman Hangar was constructed in 1939 and survived only due to its mothballed, but delapdated state. Volunteers make up the ranks of the Lytham St Annes Spitfire Ground Display Team. Established in 2009 by Fylde Council Leader John Coombes, the Team successfully raised £130,000 to build the RAF Memorial located at Fairhaven Lake, Ansdell. The Hangar 42 visitor Centre is a living History project focusing on the restoration of former WW2 RAF Vehicles, Aircraft and Ground Support equipment. In 2017 the Group has turned its focus from the Hangar refurbishment programme to that of locating and returning an airworthy WW2 RAF Aircraft to the former RAF Squires Gate Airfield.

Places to see in ( Southport - UK )
Southport is a large seaside town in Merseyside, England. Southport lies on the Irish Sea coast and is fringed to the north by the Ribble estuary. The town of Southport is 16.7 miles (26.9 km) north of Liverpool and 14.8 miles (23.8 km) southwest of Preston.
Historically part of Lancashire, the town of Southport was founded in 1792 when William Sutton, an innkeeper from Churchtown, built a bathing house at what now is the south end of Lord Street. At that time, the area, known as South Hawes, was sparsely populated and dominated by sand dunes. At the turn of the 19th century, the area became popular with tourists due to the easy access from the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The rapid growth of Southport largely coincided with the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era. Town attractions include Southport Pier with its Southport Pier Tramway, the second longest seaside pleasure pier in the British Isles and Lord Street, an elegant tree-lined shopping street, once home of Napoleon III of France.
Extensive sand dunes stretch for several miles between Birkdale and Woodvale to the south of the town of Southport . The Ainsdale sand dunes have been designated as a national nature reserve and a Ramsar site. Local fauna include the Natterjack toad and the Sand lizard. The town of Southport contains examples of Victorian architecture and town planning, on Lord Street and elsewhere. A particular feature of the town of Southport is the extensive tree planting. This was one of the conditions required by the Hesketh family when they made land available for development in the 19th century. Hesketh Park at the northern end of the town is named after them, having been built on land donated by Rev. Charles Hesketh.
Southport today is still one of the most popular seaside resorts in the UK. It hosts various events, including an annual air show on and over the beach, and the largest independent flower show in the UK, in Victoria Park. The town is at the centre of England's Golf Coast and has hosted the Open Championship at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
Due to its position by the coast, Southport is a linear settlement and as such can only be approached in a limited number of directions by road. Due to the limited number of directions by road, many of the services operated in Southport are from one place South to one place North or East of Southport. Southport railway station has a frequent service of trains to Liverpool and a regular service to Wigan, Bolton, Manchester and Manchester Airport.
