True to form almost every airshow gets bad press because those going do not like the traffic, or the hawkers and the price of the snacks seems to hurt also, always makes me think back to Finningley airshow all those years ago, there was still horrendous traffic trying to get in and out, hawkers even then were in your face though I admit not quite as bad as these days, and the food/tea vans had there own special way of making 2/6 into a pound, never understood how they managed that but not to worry, we brought our own picnic, same as we do today and made it a family day out rather than a group of strangers choosing to go to the same place.

Lessons to be learned.

1, Traffic…..Sir you are the bloody traffic.
2, Hawkers.. Can be ignored.
3, Burgers….Don’t buy them, they always smell like wet nappies to me so I find that an easy rather than queasy one.
4, It’s a family day…..make sure you take advantage of that.
