They do really seem to have got the traffic mgmt sorted - no queues either in or out for me. No delays really at the security check either.

Flying display was a bit average compared to past years, but we have been spoilt in the past.

Best display item was the Super Hornet, but many other enjoyable bits (Alan Wade in the Firefly as always, the Sukhoi, liked the Paul Bowen tribute aswell).

Some RIAT-volunteer chums commented that some of the freebies/gizzits have disappeared, but if that means more money goes to RAFBFE, then isn't that what it's all about?

I know they look nice (and the pax are paying the bills), but there were too many Gulfstreams coming and going during the display - send them to Brize (or Kemble!)

Yep, I had a good day.
