The show is about 1/2 mile from my house and I have seen it in previous years too. For a minor event it can be quite interesting.

LCY normally shuts down at lunchtime on Saturday but that's when the aircraft start to arrive. Usually a small but competently displayed selection of aerobatics, a warbird or three, wingwalkers on a Tiger Moth, the Utterley Butterley lot, sometimes skydivers (a bit restricted under the LTMA), one or two other things. All displayed nicely over the old Albert Dock away from the crowd line. Fairground rides etc are also assembled on the apron. Most of the participants have flown away by about 1800. It's all to raise funds for local charities.
