You would need toilets, marque, fuel etc.

If this was workable I have a pig roasting machine which I would happily fire up - all profit could go to a charity of your choice.
Abingdon was / is also the home of the RAF glider school - they have a mobile control tower and possibly a bunch of cadets - maybe you could rope them in?
Considering the almighty b@lls up the MOD appear to have made of the Abingdon Air Show this year, I'm not sure it's a good choice...!
