It certainly appeared smaller and quieter than previous. But some people I spoke before said they would see what this like before going to next one!. Personally I achieved as much as I would have expected, I couldn't go for full day. Managed to meet those I set out.
I think the OEM boycott also affected some of the smaller manufacturers. I would have liked to see more.
Only serious IFR were going to get in yesterday due to weather, so difficult to compare with Duxford fly in ability.
As this is the only UK show of this type it looks like support it or lose it. If the EHA do organise a European show it probably won't have any fly in eithe, only ac trucked in so major OEM only.
i preferred this venue to Duxford and Excel, just needed more support from industry.
