Well I used a 100 - 400 and a 17 - 85, but then I wasn't standing with the crowds!

My commitment to attend is fading fast.

Now 558 is confirmed, it will be mayhem.

I have heard a few people say similar, they think the rise in numbers of the crowd could spoil the unique feeling of the CWJ Day. I won't be there so matters little to me but would be interested in thoughts after the event.

Well it was busy - I'd say at least six or seven times as many cars were there. I thought the atmosphere suffered a bit, but they did make an effort to have things going on between runs.....cars running up the runway, flypasts (not a display ) by JP and Venom, and a brace of Sea Kings. Still silly queues at catering and toilets and selfish gits with stepladders.
Didn't see many people (due to the crowds, it was easy to walk past people); did talk to Naddy, Rach(a)el and Gully; saw Garry (not to talk to) and there were good queues at the Guppy.
Nice to see and chat to Andy - cheerful and informative as always, and it was a nice touch to have Martin Withers and Bob Tuxford speak about Black Buck over the Tannoy.
As usual the runs were brilliant, especially the Lightning (not biased at all) - the blue touchpaper was definitely lit All in all a good day out but with the added "Vulcan effect".

Another clutch of people that didn't come and say hello!
