Post EGAA Harrier display - what gives?

Yesterday (Fri 21st - just after lunch) at EGAA a Harrier callsign 'Cottesmore <something>' did about 5 touch and go's, a fast pass and a bit of hovering with bowing to the terminal.

Whilst this did mean my passengers took ages to board as they were minded to stand about the apron and marvel awhile; I just wondered How Come?

I'm not having a bitch - I was pleased (and jealous as hell) to watch.

I'm mildly suprised the blotter jotter rubber pencil counting desk johnies allow such a heart lifting mingling of military and airline traffic.

Good Show to EGAA tower who were coolly running about 20 jet movements an hour, a cloud of VFR helicopters, the odd PPL and a mini air display all without a hitch and a little style.
