Thanks, Air sound. I see Dr. P describes it as a very successful sseason, but I think it missed around 50% of it's shows???.
Now I know that reliability is a very large factor in it's ability to attend, but it would be fair to say that it also disappointed quite a few Airshow customers by not showing. All us regular go-ers do, of course, realise the problems, but the general public may have felt that they were cheated somewhat and may not be so enthusiastic at turning up specifically to see it next year, assuming it still flies, which, with the best will in the world, would appear to be doubtful.
I have to say that I was very sceptical about 'the large sponsors coming on board as soon as it flies' statements, but I hope it keeps going, but I really think it is a vain hope these days.
