Hey RAE...Hope your well.
Cant speak regarding the trade days as I missed them this time round but I did go today on the open day. I was rather shocked to see that they were just waving everyone through the security check points without scanning any bags or visitors.
The air show display was far better this year then last time but I did find that the organisation of the trade stalls was rather cramped and I fear a slight safety issue may be present should anything unfortunate happen which thankfully it didnt.
Must admit though, Airbus but on a great show with the A340-600 and the A380. Very impressive
