Just a few thoughts...
Went Saturday, got there at 07:00 on Red route, no traffic jams - drove straight in. Parked on airfield about 100 yards from entry.
After that, it was same as, same as. Due to the low cloudbase which stuck around most of the day, the displays were lacklustre and to be honest, I was bored stiff for most of the day except for the Mig, Chinook, Lynx and Spartan. The highlight was the A380 for me.
The Vulcan was so limpwristed, I was more angry than disappointed. They want people to give them money, but the display was so far away and quiet I would think that they didn't do as well as they could have. She came along the crowdline on a dirty pass, lifted the gear and did a noisy power climb for a memorable finale..........er, no. She just turned away onto the downwind leg and landed. The Tucano was noisier. On the bright side, I finally got Martin Withers to sign my copy of Vulcan 607.
Disappointed the Connie didn't fly; disappointed the VC10 didn't fly for a last chance to see it in the air; disappointed the Yanks couldn't be bothered to turn up. Got out of the car park OK, just a bit slow through Lechlade, but that gave us a chance to look in The Christmas Shop's window.
Don't think I'll bother next year, I'd rather go to Luton and watch the commercial flights - more action.
