What's so sad about this thread is the absolute dearth of viable alternate venues. Unfortunately, with airfields being brownfield sites they are a dying breed, driven by our rush to urbanisation (with retarded slogans like buildbuildbuild) and a never ending population increase meaning minority activities like GA, airshows, motorsports are being squeezed at each end as there is simply no physical space left for those that enjoy them to do so.
Sad times, but it's been coming for a while....
