What an enjoyable day ! Very well done to all concerned with the show. I was, for some reason, expecting a small local airshow with a few hundred attending …. How wrong was I ….. having to queue for a few minutes to get in was a giveaway …. there were thousands of people, not crowded though, lots of space around the public area.
With a £10 entry fee, a walk around the static and flying lineups before the display for only £2 and the supurb Air Cadets burgers at only £2.50 I don’t think anyone can complain.
The three hour flying display was smoothly run and flowing very well, the weather did deteriate slightly towards the end but nothing too serious. there was a lot to do for those not into the aircraft, A good display of related vehicles from many eras, a few demos from some of the firefighters was good, kept some younger people spellbound !
A couple of points noted for the future …. very good use of many large vegetable boxes as rubbish bins … Didn’t see any programmes for sale ? was there one ? the PA sounded very well qualified but was difficult to hear at the crowd line !
So all in all an excellent day out (photos in the ‘airshow photos’ thread)
Thank You very much, hope to be there again.
Keith.
