Chairborne,
thank you for your reply, I agree with you on the press facilities, it is frustrating when we (photographers) have one goal which is to get the best photographs we can and our whole day is taken up with this quest! We can sometimes feel we are kept too far away from aircraft, or feel there is not enough done to accommodate our needs! However, the organisers have a duty to keep the airfield safe. I personally have been amazed at some of the things I have seen over the years where security has or could have been breached and a potential disaster could have occurred.
