I can’t believe this thread, who are any of us to to tell the forummember where to spend his money, if he’d never paid to see an airshow then I could easily understand the comments but he has said he has supported shows in the past. GIVE HIM A BREAK!
Dave you said
“I find it deplorable that anyone on this forum would consider watching an airshow from outside the fence, whatever their reasoning or self justification.”
This is not always true, for example
On the 25th (arrivals) and 26th, I shall be at Waddington watching the airshow for FREE. Why? The reason why is because I can get much better photos and much much better film footage. Many airshows are filled to the brim with non photography friendly folk (who have every right to be there, not a dig at them) on the crowdline and filming is almost impossible to get good sound and views without those annoying tannoys. So, I take my bag down the A15 and set up and watch the action for free where it is nice and quiet (apart form the sound of aircraft displaying) and I can get all the footage I need.
THEN, on the 27th, I pay my ticket to support the show and go around, even though Im nto particularly fond of teh hussle and bussle of this particular airshow. That way I support the show too.
Is this deplorable Dave?
By the sounds of it, Nige has supported airshows/avaition in the past and has decided to watch, for his own reaosns, from the outside. On the strength of this, lets give him a break.
