Pyros are an excellent idea, but remember that all of the grass area at DX is used for aircraft movements. The last thing the IWM want to do is to spend a week clearing the grass of bits of pyro, and filling in the holes. And it burns the grass! As it is now, the airfield is 100% servicable on the Monday morning after Legends.
Food – I agree could do with some changes. But bear in mind that the caterers are only passing on the high charges levied by the IWM for their pitch (Why should they pay for you to eat?) Even food in the pilot’s and guest’s tent is priced a lot higher for those without free tickets. Why not do the ‘english’ thing and take a picnic? A lot cheaper, even at Sainsbury’s prices. And, you are eating food that has to please the masses rather than a quarter pounder greaseburger cooked by a greasy bloke from Rochdale who had just had a crap and neglected to wash his hands afterwards! (In case of sensitivity and PC, no offence meant or intended to Rochdale or greasy blokes, just illustrating a point!)
I’d also stop the commentators from talking – no matter who they are, they all talk out of their r$e sometimes, some more than others.
Music – we have music, its called aircraft noise:D Nothing else compares.
Stands – theres an awful lot of tat to be had at Duxford (or any UK display). Restrict stands to those relevant to a flying display (i.e No cuddly toys or fondue sets).
Aircraft – Polikarpovs, Red Bull Corsair, More French warbirds, anything to surprise the masses. Definately NOT the Red Barrows or any other Fast jets. And no more Utterly Butterly Stearmans, PLEASE!!!!!!
Agreed that Legends should stay with the current format – it’s why people go.
Thems me thoughts:p
