Hi all.

Many people say Airshows attract the second largest crowds (after Football) in the UK and that the majority of visitors.

Is this written any where, are there any reliable/quotable sources. If so, could somebody please point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Ben

I have a September 1953 press cutting that shows that over 1 million visitors (1,149,800 to be precise) visited RAF airfields for the September 1953 Battle of Britain diplays.
