Waddo Airshow
3 points.
What was that about "no problem getting out"- You obviously did not try to leave at 1715 to eventually arrive in Lincoln at 1900.
Secondly as to the numbers attending RIAT and Waddo, well they both contribute to the RAF Benevolent fund but as Waddo does not have the "Overheads" i.e. hosting overpaid aircrew in hotels and business VIPS then the RAF Fund receives a lot more from Waddo than it does from RIAT. Of course they don't have to pay staff or rely on volunteers at Waddo as they have loads of willing helpers in blue suits.
Finally the reason for the short uninspiring display from the Eurofighter was that it was flown by RAF and not by BAES Test Piolts who can really throw it around in their display.
Overall though a well organised and very enjoyable day.
