I was one of the PFA helpers on Saturday. Day started at 8am on Saturday with a briefing and most volunteers worked until 18:00 Sunday. We provided voluntary escort to groups onto the airfield - all those yellow jacketers were PFA volunteers. Marshalling was provided by the Milton Keynes aviation society - they were in the white lab coats and did a fantastic job.
The same volunteers will be back at Sywell next week running a Young Aviators Day.
The event was organised by Sywell, with not much input or say, as I understand it, from the PFA. It was after all, the Sywell Revival and shared as a regional PFA rally
The PFA stand and Build a plane project was there, but a noticable lack of suppliers and stalls. Some PFA committee members were there too, helping as tour escorts.
I had a great time - my wife helped out too. For us, it was great showing people around the aircraft and having a good old chin-wag with the old boys about their days of flying in the RAF.
Rod1 is right. We were there, just working the event without any noise. Letting people enjoy their membership fee. The only fee was charged by Sywell and nothing went to the PFA.
