It was good wasn't it, I will pop a few pics up later.

Incidentally, they were caught by surprise as they do not normally get the amount of folks they did, so the crowd line was a bit squashed, but they were saying they may try to extend it, they cannot at the moment make it longer as they have to allow for a tyre burst and an aircraft slewing off the runway.

They could have done with more staff on the crowd line to stop the incursions past the barrier and up behind the jets launching off, I couldn't believe the stupidity of some people taking young children up behind high powered jets, I am just glad no one got injured and I would hate to think what might of happened if an engine let go. At least later on some of the staff tried to address the problem.

But bar that, an excellent day out, well organised and run, a credit to a lot of hard work that goes into behind the scenes to generate the aircraft and to staff the show.
