Anyone one going over the weekend

I've been along the show-fields this morning and I'm a bit disappointed to see this year it seems more like a food festival than an airshow site.....

But the weather is Fab so I expect that will draw a huge crowd and I hope they all have a really great time....

Anyway the firework display last night was really good!

Shame it's getting taken over by food stalls, maybe it's down to all the defence cuts

Had the red arrows and the Battle of Britain Flight , Lancaster , Spitfire and Hurricane fly over our House last night

Awsome

I wonderd where they were going

tho isn't it sad that the Red Arrows now have a fighter fly with them ? Sadly a sign of the times

I'm sure they never used to have

I think a more likely explanation is the local council charge catering stall holders a hefty concession whereas plots taken for aeronautically themed displays are usually allocated free-gratis ....
