Sadly grass Airfield, torrential rain all morning, vehicles driving accross said grass equates to mud, and lots of it!!!!! The jobs worth you talk about were people doing what they had been asked to do, and given up there time for free. unfortunately opening gates willy nilly not only lets you in but a flood of people who constantly try and get in for nothing!!! This has happend on both the last two Airshows and as a result no profit was made on either of them, in fact a large loss was:( We are lucky that Sywell Aerodrome have agreeed to hold the show again, they bank roll the event and the last two years have given a donation to the Air Ambulance out of there own pocket. As a result access was restricted, and the gate you mentioned was foe emergency services access should there be an incident.
Im sorry if you had problems last time but i can assure you as the organisers who had invested months of our own time in putting on the event, to, A, watch the rain P down all morning, and then, B, have people doing all they can to get in for F**K all, your car getting muddy was the least of our worries 😡
Again i am sorry you had problems and we like to see the car clubs at the event and look fwd to seeing you there next year if you wish to come, hopefully the weather gods will be a little kinda to us next year, rant over:)
