I've been thinking about this, and maybe there is another way to look at the situation
The air show can only hold a given amount of visitors.
So If 10,000 will be turned away, and if (as it now seems) many of you fellow Ppruner's will not attend through disgust, then I get to go to a fairly empty air show, with few traffic queues. The traders will be desperate to sell their food and goods cheap, as I will be the only one there.
Also, many of the aircraft will be open to visitors, so I will plonk myself in one of the Seakings and the raising flood waters won't be a problem either
All in all a good day out.
PS I have to see it like this as I already have the tickets, and they are non transferable.
