It certainly was sunshine and showers! We had 50-odd aircraft booked in by 9 am on Saturday. Based on past trends, this would increase to about 70 or so actual arrivals, or about 200 people. Then the phone started ringing with cancellations, and about 25-30 aircraft actually arrived. But full marks to another eight groups (at least) who switched to car at the last moment.

Judging from "customer" feedback and smiling faces, it was a successful day, and the informal format worked.

Thanks to all who braved the showers and those who braved the M11 instead. And special thanks to the experts and presenters who made the day so worthwhile.

We are considering another Safety Day for next year, this time in a bigger venue, the new AirSpace facility.

The next Duxford Bonus Day is 3rd May.

Alan.
