“They pay the owners of the aircraft to attend so why charge people to display classic cars?!”

Arr no they don’t!, in fact Abingdon will cost me this year circa £1200 to attend, not forgetting the £2000 to run the aircraft for a year and the share cost which was over £3K 11 years ago + all the fuel in training to get signed off (circa £20K over the years I would guess)

That makes £5 to attend in a classic car a much better option in fact a real bargain I would say – and yes I know its my choice to fly a jet but at least someone stupid keeps them going!

You must have a working transponder ( but doesn’t have to be Mode C) for class A airspace i.e. flying into RAF Northolt or Jersey etc.
