There is a fair chance that the majority of Biggins typical airshow crowd ie, the families will know nothing about this ditching of the airshow proper, this group far outnumber the enthusiast portion of BH’s crowd and maybe don’t access the aviation websites.
Big mistake by the bosses at Biggin, in my opinion the Air Fair was the best show of the year if variety of display items was the judging criteria.
I typically attend about 8 shows a year, and Biggin is there with Flying Legends and RIAT in my ‘absolutely must book hols from work’ list.

I know us enthusiasts can be stubborn and resistant to change, but we arent talking about an event that was making a loss, there was a lock out a couple of years back due to the huge crowds, and the same would have happened this year but for the World Cup.
Think I’m in denial about this , it hasnt quite sunk in yet…….I effing hate businessmen:mad:
