Best line-up for years? Wow, the past few years must have been even more rubbish than I imagined then! Maybe I (and my colleagues) are looking at a different show list, but the one I’m looking at looks like a complete bore.
Oh well, each to his own, but I’m certainly not the only person to think that Waddington’s show has completely lost any appeal that it once had. Last year’s show was awful but countless optimists said “wait until this year – things will be so much better”… and yet, it’s the same tired old show. I mean really, people are actually getting excited because there’s an RC-135 in the static park? Good grief, are folks really that desperate to find something to get giddy about?
Maybe I am being harsh on the organisers. Don’t care really, I don’t owe them anything nor does anybody else. I’m a punter just like anyone is, and if that’s what they think the RAF’s “showcase” should look like, well they’re welcome to it!:p
Tim,
I think you and I have been to too many shows as those that are raving at the line-up are probably younger than us and haven’t seen this stuff before.
I must say there is nothing there I haven’t seen before and it’s too far/too expensive to trek all the way there to see the same old stuff again.
As far as show rating go, however, it is probably second-best to RIAT
