well there's a day of my life I'll never get back.
3 hours to get, what, 7 miles from the A17 to the airshow? Who on earth was in charge of traffic management? It wasn't the police, they were too busy hiding in the shade watching the queues not moving.
I suppose I was lucky that I could actually see the Red Arrows do their thing from a great distance
Then the site was huge, and yet only 2 toilets & 1 burger van. For 200,000 people.
And the flying displays? well they were ok but I can see how they managed to spread it out over 7 hours.
"oh look dear there's a helicopter". wait 10 minutes. "there it is again". wait another 10 minutes. "well I think that was it from him". Wait another 20 minutes. "ooh look some fast jets" "yes, they were very fast, and now they've gone"
couldn't be arsed to wait for the Vulcan, if it ever turned up. Last thing I saw was the BBMF circling the airfield as we drove away
