Friday morning as displays had been halted due to IMC conditions

Misunderstanding on my part. Obviously the show hadn't yet started Friday morning.

I attended the show on Saturday - it was great. The Vickers Vimy having to abort it's take off due to the wind was the best part as it was not in the script. The military jingoism ("hero of the Falklands war","the Taliban don't come out to play when they see this one") at these shows irritates me. These are machines of death - its not what flying is about for me.

Never mind an over enthuisiatic warm welcome to an ex-prime minister the majority of people in this country would rather forget about.
