Seeing as the Waddo 2001 thread has wandered into this direction and with the Show being 2 weeks away...
MOTF; you forgot to mention that kids with an adult go free. Doesn't happen at Alton Towers last time I looked.
EESDL; facts please, not guesses. I have it on very good authority that Gloucester Police charged over £200k for overtime for the 99 show. The Leic/Cambs/Northants triumverate wanted to charge a bit more. Puts 'bills' in perspective doesn't it? In spite of this, far from break even, the profit margin for Fairford shows has been, as I understand, well into 6 figures.
I fully recognise that almost £60 for a family is steep and not as affordable as it could be, but this does not seem to deter over 200k people, year-on-year, who by and large see it as VFM.
Biggest and best military airshow in the world?
Probably.
