    I can honestly say that there are no celebrities dead or alive, whom I envy.
    I certainly don’t believe that when you die, you should automatically be Canonised. Irrespective of your past life.

    As far as our recent celebrity death is concerned. I bear that person no ill feeling. I didn’t particularly like them,
    and in all fairness, one or two of the things they did were quite amusing.

    My main criticism was that they didn’t act in the face of overwhelming evidence, to alleviate the suffering of others.
    Nobody wanted to “Rock the Boat”. That is a known fact, as many others have testified.

    I think this part of the forum serves a useful purpose. Nasty things don’t go away when you turn your back on them.
    Although from the moderating perspective, it can’t be easy knowing where to draw the line. Both legally and morally.

    I wasn’t necessarily referring to the very recently deceased, more the subject in general.

    If you actually go into the booking process you’ll see the car parking tickets are free (for Legends at least) – you’re asked to select the number of vehicles you need passes for (I entered 1) then submit your details.

    That is how I read it too. The only mention of paying for parking is at The American Air Show.

    With Legends it says you have to book a pass. It doesn’t say you have to pay for it.

    As someone asked, where is all of this money going to go, apart from paying the salaries of those mentioned above ?

    Do the increased costs also apply to RAF (and other Air force) participation. Would it affect RIAT, or other events
    on military bases.?

    Very interesting. It’s amazing the experiences some of these pilots have.

    So, for a display featuring 31 or more items, the charge will go up from £2,695 to £20,390

    I haven’t read the document, so what will the charge be for events with fewer than 31 items ?
    As that would cover a lot of events.

    Hopefully Joe’s will now stop the practice of having a board advertising things they don’t sell, to entice people in ?
    I haven’t found their food too bad over the last couple of years. Also on pre-airshow Fridays, there are usually
    mobile concessions selling food.

    So far only a proposal ?

    Worrying assumptions are being made here and little store should be set by the prattling of gossip columnists.

    Wogan meant little to me but dragging his name into the Savile mire does seem a bit cheap.

    The thing that sticks in my mind was the David Ike interview !

    I’ve watched both of those on Youtube, I think Wogan may have regretted the rematch ?
