Sorry, have to post a second time as I still feel angry at this.
I've been flying over Faiford all week and seen what the weather radar was painting. Every captain I have flown with this week has been bored by me saying "it must be soaked by now, I do hope they don't canel, I really want to see the Raptor, Vulcan...." etc.
I've been to Glastonbury and understand how an RAF base can never be reduced to such a sight, but it shouldn't come as a shock to the organisers with around 12 hours to go. Aviation is the third profession I have been in and all three have screamed "communicate, as early as possible". How many Fairford punters are already in bed, ready for an early start, who could have been saved hundreds of miles in the car tomorrow if the organisers had put out a "decision pending" notice this afternoon?
Not good.
