Yes, that's what largely killed off Fighter Meet (along with the building of the new housing estate just outside the airfield boundary)

Eastborne airshow crowd is not Legends airshow crowd. Legends will not work as a seaside airshow.

And yes I have been to Silverstone Classic, once (never again).....and its awful.......not a patch on Goodwood Revival for atmosphere (or Spa) or the old historic events that used to be at Brands back in the 80's.
