A,
Here's my 2p worth.
1. Change the dates so it doesn't clash with Duxford events - You'll get more Cambridge locals visiting, and you may be able to swap aircraft with the IWM/TFC/OFMC/ARCO etc!
2. I agree with Beags. The Extra doesnt really fit, just as it wouldn't fit in at the RAF Musuem etc etc. Leave the high performance aircraft for a dedicated 'High Performance' event? The Yakovlevs are OK though, more relaxed aerobatics. Most people who go to Old Warden want to see old aeroplanes, not Carbon Fibre advertising hoardings.
3. Get a decent full time commentator. Jeremy Spake was awful!!! He kept ranting on & on about the Lysander. Can we expect Dale Winton for the 2004 season?
4. There are lots of other aircraft out there to choose from - The Real Aeroplane Company's Aeronca C3 & Ryan, Vic Norman's Curtiss Jenny, The Tiger Club Turbulent Team etc etc...Probably even a Zlin 526 if you look hard enough. All good entertaining flying.
Other than that, its an excellent day out. Well done to you and the guys (and girls) who make it happen, and to MOTF and Damien B for recording it on film (or disc?).
