Irony is that they are us (mostly) and we are them (mostly).
Indeed, I am 'one of them' myself!!!!!!
Anyhow, I would prefer a UK based fly-in for a number of reasons. Not everyone can attend with a club aeroplane as some can only come for an hour or two and I feel abroad is a tad too much for club flyers (regarding time of having aeroplane out).
Others reasons are varied, I have not much time now to go into it as I am just about to leave for work but experience shows a lot more people will turn up for a UK fly-in. How about a seperate 'international fly-in sometime..?
I would suggest somewhere like Compton Abbas, Shoreham (obviously) or Cranfield. Just suggestions as I say but let's go with the flow and all that!
