Right, hang on, I was there yesterday, and it was ........................................a waste of a Saturday.

Yes the weather was bad, but the whole thing just smacks of commercialism ! No longer trying to show off the RAF at its best, but just trying to maximise income. A bloody great funfair smack in the middle of the best viewing areas, loads of other chavvy stalls selling tat. A parking area for those who paid a little bit more, again smack bang in the middle of the best viewing areas. As for the displays, well I know the weather was bad, but come on a circuit from each of the so called ISTAR triad, wow, oh and the bloke commentating: clueless !

I shouldn't moan too much though, I didn't pay, but if I was the paying public, I would think my money wasted.

Cancelling today because of the weather, pull the other one, you had the weather forecast, surely you could see that yesterday should have been cancelled and gone for it today ?
