I was on the gate at the WAVE on the spotter on ladder occassion. The police demanded that we stop our visitors from leaving the official enclosure. We pointed out that this was an airfield and not a POW camp and we did not have any authority to stop them. This is what led to the loss of "pass outs" at subsequent airshow arrivals days.
I would be interested to hear any comments from the lorry drivers as they swerved around the plank on the ladder in the middle of the road.
