:08:39. > :08:40.saw two together, but it would not be too when I was looking at them.

:08:47. > :08:50.they've been on a tour of summer air shows but it could

:09:07. > :09:08.towed the Lancaster out. That is the Lancaster that is here today, and I
:09:09. > :09:15.hope I can get to fly in it. In total, 7,366
:09:16. > :09:17.Lancasters were built. They flew more than 150,000 sorties,
:09:18. > :09:20.and, 70 years on, this could be your only time to ever
:09:21. > :09:25.see them fly together. In Guernsey they take to
:09:26. > :09:48.the skies at 11am, So, what does tomorrow have in store
:09:49. > :09:54.weather`wise? I wish I would be there to see them,
:09:55. > :09:56.a splendid sight. Let's start with the forecast for the airshow
:09:57. > :10:01.tomorrow because I think the weather is going to be splendid. There is a
:10:02. > :10:07.keen breeze, perhaps for those out and about in the sunshine, be
:10:08. > :10:12.careful you could still get burnt. 19 degrees the top temperature for
:10:13. > :10:16.Jersey. Fine and dry with sunny spells. The thickest cloud will be
:10:17. > :10:19.across the more northern parts of the Channel islands. A bit more
:10:20. > :10:24.cloud here. The rest of us will have sunny spells and it will be breezy
:10:25. > :10:28.with keen easterly winds. They are being generated by the fact that
:10:29. > :10:33.there is a deep area of low pressure off the West Coast of Spain and
:10:34. > :10:37.Portugal. That area of low pressure is squeezing up against the area of
:10:38. > :10:43.high pressure, which is pretty tenacious. It stays around into the
:10:44. > :10:46.weekend, but there are more isobars on the chart, so it means those
:10:47. > :10:51.winds will stay moderate to a fresh until the end of the weekend.
:10:52. > :10:55.Tonight, fine dry and clear. The winds will drop a little bit over
:10:56. > :11:04.night tonight, and tempered as will also drop. Dash`macro temperatures.
:11:05. > :11:08.Tomorrow, some patchy cloud around, particularly across Jersey, but
:11:09. > :11:13.Jersey will remain in the sunshine for much of the day. Easterly winds
:11:14. > :11:21.and temperatures ranging from 17 on the coast to as much as 20. The
:11:22. > :11:24.coastal waters forecast, the winds are from the east, forced 4`5.
:11:25. > :11:46.Moderate visibility. As we head into the weekend, more
:11:47. > :11:52.fine weather on Friday and on Saturday. Temperatures reaching 21
:11:53. > :11:55.degrees. More cloud on Sunday, but still fine and dry. The dry weather
:11:56. > :12:01.continues into the early part of next week. Have a good evening.

:12:30. > :12:35.could be catching up as a breeding programme proves successful.
:12:36. > :12:38.We've already seen them coming across the Tamar Bridge earlier
:12:39. > :12:41.from John o' Groats, well here they are in Lands' End but

:13:41. > :13:43.The three drinkers they spotted earlier have taken their chances
:13:44. > :13:59.Do you think that is acceptable behaviour?

:14:16. > :14:23.We want businesses, volunteers, people that walk their dogs,
:14:24. > :14:26.that can have a place or port of call and not to get muddled up
:14:27. > :14:30.We want to get on and do it and sort it out.
:14:31. > :14:33.Just doing it seems to be working, success so far for the Ilfracombe
