Woodford was not the only place to suffer bad weather during the 1980’s and early nineties.

I can remember St Athan being so wet on two years in a row that the opinion of those attending was that only flying boats or amphibians would be attending the next show.

Also in the early 1990’s I attended a particularly wet airshow at Leeming. With my fellow enthusiasts we gave up at about 3 pm when the Nimrod was being displayed as it appeared to be looking for survivors in what was left of the crowd. I think that there were only about six displays all day due to the low cloud and rain.
