Maybe Sunderland Council should have a camel racing event to compensate for the loss of the airshow?
To be honest, I think the age of the airshow is coming to a close...Think of the wonderful shows we had in the not too distant past..Mildenhall, Waddington, North Weald, St Athan, Valley, Finningley Prestwick, Leuchars, Biggin Hill, even Farnborough is a Trade only show now
For may organisers, they are just in the "too difficult" pile now..
Couple that with increasing restrictions on the aircraft that actually are available now, and all you get are a lot of little dots doing loops and rolls above 2000 ft or halfway to the next county!
No..Sunderland Council chose a very trendy excuse to cancel any future show, and keep the Environmentalists onside...
