Oh for the days of John Watts,Paul Warren Wilson ,at the Fighter Meet ,i dont care what anyone says ,it was not the loss of the Market stalls that killed off the Air show ,,it was the the Policing costs ,which killed off the fighter meet,still now the Lawyer who was the King pin has moved to France ,things are changing at the Weald ,,good news

Having been to nearly all the Fighter Meet Airshows ,i am pretty sure there were two reasons why the Show,s were stopped ,first one being the loss of revenue from the saturday market which had to be cancelled on the Airshow weekend ,and also the cost from the Police for policeing the show ,it was way over policed in the end and the Organisers had to pay the very large bill,would love to think they would bring it back ,but who would take the risk ??

yes went to all the Fighter Meets ,good old days ,last time i heard a couple of years ago ,Gilmour still owns an AT6 and Boeing Stearman tucked away in the far hanger on the Airfield , anyone know if there is a Fly In at North Weald next weekend ?

Or they could bring back the Bentwaters Airshow held 3 years ago ,was told it wont be back as too expensive to hold ,but i still think it was more about a few locals moaning about the traffic and Joe Public ,that was a very very Popular Airshow in an ideal Location ,bring it back with cheaper Displays and you have a Winner !!

What a Great Video ,,thanks for posting that

And also the American Air Day is not shown ? They should think of some new items to get people through the doors,like running up the Raf Phantom as they used to years ago

Having looked at the List of Airshow Dates for 2014 , i don,t see the Autumn Air Day on the List ? Anyone know if they have decided not to have it anymore ?
