Affordability is different to different people.Yes i agree £20-£30 per person x that by 4 + fuel,food soon builds up .
A well made point, but it isn’t always people short of cash.
My neighbour is not short of a bob or two and he would never dream of paying to get into a Biggin airshow ,in fact he had barely concealed contempt for me and others paying to get in year in year out.
To return to the A26 crash, the crash site was down in the valley and to be fair, any people down there could have just been out for a walk etc, the freeloaders tended to populate the areas outside the airfield fence and on the greens of Leaves Green.
There but for the Grace of God go I, but I wouldn’t want to tar everyone with the same brush , I’m betting there are many aviation fanatics who are going or have gone through hard times financially who just wanted to see a display so maybe stood outside.
At Duxford I gather it is the photographic bor……..er, enthusiasts that favour the fields because of the suns position.
I dare say there are a few Fagins amongst them though.
It’s a discussion that will never go away with strong views both sides.
