Mind you I do remember a scheduled visit of a B52 to Farnborough where the comentator explained that the aircraft had flown all the way from the US had been Tanked on route. No B52 appeared. A little later the comentator came up on tannoy the B52 had actually displayed but at Blackbush.
Ahh, yes. 2004. It hadn't flown in from the USA either, it had only come from RAF Fairford. And it hadn't been refuelled en-route either.
Actually, it later transpired that the ATC service provided had been 'somewhat lacking', and the B-52 was forced to keep it's speed up and remain quite high, so when it approached the airfield it was at the wrong height and speed. It was unable to make the flypast without overstressing the aircraft in a high-speed turn.
Unfortunately there was only time for a single flypast in the 'tight schedule', so the aircraft returned to Fairford.
