I’ve never seen so many Vulcan and Lancaster caps and T-shirts all in the same place as I did today. “Roll up, roll up, all aboard the bandwagon!”

Never mind, in another two months it will all be over forever. All the Vulcan-worshipers can then go back to their football, their copies of The Sun and their cans of extra-strength lager, and put their union jacks away away in the cupboard.

They were out in force at Duxford last weekend, freeloading by parking in the IWM car park but staying outside the chain link fence, with their Union Jack baseball hats and their little flags on sticks. Bless them!

…CAF returned to Coventry.

Well, part of it did. They seem to have left rather a lot behind…

All credit to the organisers in guaranteeing entry to SVAS members, unlike the fiasco of Friends of Duxford being denied entrance to last September’s shambolic Duxford event.

You should be okay any time. I often roll up at one o’clock and drive straight in during Legends weekend.

I think it will have the opposite effect, it will bring people through the gate who might not otherwise visit OW, and what they see there may encourage them to return. It has also had the effect of selling out a show that otherwise would probably only have been half full. It was strongly advised on The Collection’s website and social media that tickets should be purchased in advance as it would sell out before the weekend. Most of the true ‘Shuttleworth regulars’ will be SVAS members, and can still gain admission on the day.
