    I was so looking forward to this airshow as the highlight of the year but UK weather strikes again. I have been monitoring the weather all week and decided not to travel, but I assume it’s not possible to re-shedule the line up.

    Listening to Walton with added Spitfire is very different to listening to Spitfire with added Walton. Keep music out of air displays it’s quite tacky.

    With reference to commentaries I always think that I’m going to be given a test at the end to see if I was paying attention to all that information overload, especially at Old Warden. As for music, the club music that blasted out of the PA at Flying Legends on Saturday morning at nine o’clock was torturous. Old warden plays some 1930’s music at low volume prior to the show which is nice, but last time the cd stuck to they changed it to some easy listening versions of well known tunes which made me feel suicidal it was so depressing. If you want music get an mp3 player.

    Personally I’m a big fan of the way he captures the way that propellers are rigid objects driven by the engine, rather than seemingly flexible, banana-shaped items, which magically and instantaneously reverse their direction of rotation. 🙂

    I’ll have two pints of what your on please.

    Personally I find it easiest just to fork out a few quid each year for Steve Connor’s consistently excellent DVD of the event, rather than try to shoot the type of endless, rather tedious and amateurish single vantage-point videos that are plastered all over the web shortly afterwards.

    Good for you and Steve, soon you’ll be able to store then next to your collection of wax cylinders.

    Btw, nice video of the P-26 Malcolm.

    Thanks very much. I have had to mention to people who where having quite personal conversations concerning absent third parties that I was picking up their conversations and that it would be posted on YouTube that usually quieten things down a bit. Perhaps the guy with the T-shirt stating he was recording sound wore it as a legal disclaimer.

    You want to record perfect video then fork out for your own personal airshow…

    That’s a very inclusive attitude. Most places have a rule about nuisance noise in public spaces from such things as getto blasters and the like, Its no big deal to stick an ear piece in.

    perhaps the organisers should divide up the area into lots where you can pre-book your space the most desirable at a premium price. Some people want different things from air-shows. Photographers that perfect shot, videographers a wider viewing arc and good sound without clutter. If I were to stick my hand in front of someone’s lens just as they were taking that perfect shot, would they be happy at that no. Whereas it seams perfectly acceptable to ruin sound recordings. If someone is videoing with a microphone then cut the sound down a bit when near by something you have no control over the task is to minimise the clutter as much as possible.

    If people want to listen to air traffic control on air band radios that is their choice, to inflict it on everyone else is unacceptable when an ear piece can be used. If someone was there blasting out radio one would that be acceptable? Most people use an ear pieces to listen to ATC which is very considerate, having it blasting out destroys the atmosphere and ambiance and is completely out of context with the historic aircraft that your viewing. If someone is trying to listen to or record the sound It equates to answering a mobile phone in a Cinema or Theatre. Even the commentators stated they were cutting down on the chat so the aircraft could be heard.

    Perhaps we could get rid of the marquees then there would be room for everyone, or you could go to the show at 06:30 to claim you personal space like the other dedicated enthusiasts. Do you think it’s acceptable to barge your way into someone’s space that they have occupied for hours in order to get the shots they want. The only thing the museum has banned that I can see is step ladders.
