Please don't get me wrong about this, I am delighted that the UK is having an aviation do this year (other than Helitech) and good on those who arranged it but...

I was about to book a slot then checked the runway length - 735m (with minimal wind) leaves me little leeway for landing my Mooney and I can't be bothered to hand fly all the way up from Cornwall in my R44.

A different field with a published IAP and a longer hard runway would certainly have made the show more attractive for me.

It might also have made the show accessible to other types that need more runway such as VLJs.
