For me 2014 has been one of the best seasons in years and I have had a pretty amazing year. The biggest highlight was having the chance to see the two Lancasters together and I confess I became I bit of a groupie and caught up with them 5 times in total. Other highlight was Biggin Hill having an airshow again.
These are some of my highlights.

As to lows
1) Sea Fury T20 suffering bad damage
2) Weather preventing several war birds making Flying legends
3) Missing 3 hours of Waddington Airshow after bus problems on top of 7 hour round trip on trains to get there on
4) My friends not being able to see the two Lancasters at Shoreham due to engine problem
