Stupid Government Global Warming propaganda machine….. Sorry meant to say met office.
Some interesting reading.
The best value of all, airshow-wise, was Mildenhall.

I also understand that a ****-up was made in ordering the wrong grade of runway de-icing fluid, which added greatly to the difficulties faced in maintaining even single runway operations.
If true, then this sort of mistake could, and should, have been avoided.
MAN are having problems clearing stands to take new arrivals.
Aircraft have been holding, but are starting to divert – Qatar 45 (A7-AEH) is heading for BHX.
I’m sorry to say that the management at MAN haven’t exactly covered themselves with glory during this spell of bad weather.
I am told from a friend also active on this forum that a high profile mod has walked away from the forum. Is this true? 😮

Andy, this isn’t a democracy.
You’ve either mis-read what I posted or you’re wilfully misrepresenting it for reasons of your own.
Either way, the subject isn’t up for discussion.
To recap: the only thing that has changed is that in future we ask that anyone who wants to share a large number of images in one go with the rest of us should do so by means of a link to an external photo album rather than starting several new threads.
Everything else is unchanged and the majority of our regular contributors will be unaffected.
That’s a bit of an over-reaction if I may say so, Andy.
No-one is suggesting anything like the situation that you describe. Please read my original posting again.
We are relying on people’s common sense which, as always, will prevail.
