What a con !
Yes the Aero GP was cancelled & they ran what could only be described as an advanced level British Aerobatic comp over the two days.
The reason however appears to be somewhat of a cover-up as I have it from a good source that the CAA pulled the plug more than a week prior to the event, but the authorities only advertised the cancellation on the morning of the event (once everyone had set out for Blackpool) and blamed it on poor weather !
I'd like to have seen what excuse they'd have used should the weather have been CAVOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
