It all seemed to work OK on Saturday coming in from Croydon by car via Keston and Downe, where a moving queue started in the village; we got in pretty quickly at about 10:45 and out again with no trouble at all, although we left a bit early at about 4:15pm.

Although crowded, there was room to sit on the grass - it sounds as though there were far more people on Sunday. There seemed to be far too much hospitality stretched along the display line at the southern end but I guess that helps to defray the costs and seems to be a fact of almost every event these days.

I always theorize that families are more likely to go to airshows on Sunday (Saturday = shopping) and go on Saturdays myself. Wonder if the theory is a fact?

Sorry you guys didn't have a good day.
