In reply to Steve 964: I feel that I must agree pretty much in general with your sentiments. (That’ll get them going eh?! :p )
The Praise:
1, Agree – after reading the recent horror stories on this forum I decided to leave early, hence got in with no problem.
2-5 agree!
The criticism :
1, The flightline – can’t comment anymore than refusing to pay £4.00 on top of my £25.00 – which may seem “tight” but multiply that by four?
2, Didn’t notice the commentator too much – had scanner earpiece in.
3, Agree entirely – however made a point of standing immediately to the right of this & was rewarded with pretty clear view all the way down the flightline. – Although I would have to question the logic in cordoning off the grass in front of the grandstand – surely the whole reason of a grandstand is to enable its occupants to see over the heads of the people in front?
Further points – Food a rip off (not just price but quality)- but then I suppose that’s my own fault for not bothering to bring my own. I Think in future I’ll make “Leg-Ends” a Bi-annual event & concentrate more on Old Warden where I don’t feel that I’m just another “cash-cow” to be milked.
PS: warbirdUK “how much do you think it costs to put on an event like that?” is no defence, the bleak reality is that if you p##s off the public they will vote with their feet & either go elsewhere (bad) or not bother at all (worse).
As THE Premier event of it’s type Flying Legends DOES have a responsibility (like it or not) to promote aviation on behalf of the smaller venues for the masses.
