I'm with the yellow-coated jobsworths.

I'm a long-time showgoer to the likes of Finningley, Church Fenton, Waddington and Farnborough.

I made my debut at Biggin Hill last year. It is a fine airfield and it was a fine show. It was only marred by the selfishness of my fellow Surreyites who sealed off the entire crowd line with their marked out patches of land identified by tents and windbreaks. This blocked the front off to all others. Southerners must be proud of themselves.

I noted one or two copying this selfishness at Waddington but fortunately a minority.

What's wrong with occupying a post near the front and rotating with others? Sharing? Showing respect and some community spirit at a public event?

I was pleased there was little evidence of this selfishness at Farnborough. (Marvellous show).

If the yellow coated jobsworths were responsible and were briefed to end this "I'm allright jack screw everybody else mentality" then lets spread it to all airshows.

Aviation for all.
