I have never been to the show but have been to LFA about 4 times. Last one 4 years ago. Its a hill top grass strip and can take up to DC3/JU52 size aircraft. The museum is excellent all packed into 3 hangars with no barriers. Lots of WW1 replicas and 30’s light stuff. Also Yaks,P51,Fury etc. I guess for the show most of it is pulled out? If you get the chance go exploring behind the museum in the woods. Last time there was a hangar full of ex Egyptian Yak 11’s and 18’s. And the woods are littered with scrap in the shame of Harvards and Nord 1101’s. If they have tidied it up reciently its a big shame.
