Thank you Albert.
Also some of us are limited in that we abide by the normal conventions of paying to see a show or an event rather than choosing to, in many cases, trespass onto adjoining land to save a bob or two.

You won’t let it rest, Kev, will you?:mad: Even while advising Rob about photography, you have to have a dig at those of us that were in the field!
Well for your information, no one was ‘trespassing’ as you accused us! In fact Avon & Somerset police came into the field to tell us the farmer was quite happy for us to be there, providing no litter was left and his access gates were not blocked!
Furthermore, if we are not ‘trespassing’, then it’s just a matter of choice.
Those outside do not want to take into-sun shots for most of the day, nor do they consider £20 is good value to shoot aircraft in a static park that are already surrounded by fences with most having covers over them. The show is not run by the Royal Navy, but farmed out to a private agency that is more interested in making money for itself than looking after enthusiasts’ requirements. It has little to do with ‘ saving a few pounds’ or ‘supporting the event’, as the Photocall costs next to nothing and all the punters on the show day will easily cover the costs and more. It is about ‘value for money’.
If they were really taking enthusiasts seriously, they would not put covers on the aircraft or put the the barriers up until afterwards, like they have done several years earlier.
