the problem is the PTF expired on the 2nd july and the application wasn't submitted to the CAA until the 26/6.
CAA rules state that a permit to fly authorisation takes on average 15 days to process,so make your own minds up where fault lies.
There's gonna be a lot of angry people at Waddo this weekend after last years no show on the sunday and all the hard selling this week about the formation flying with the reds and the breitling team.
Unfortunately i expect the blame to be apportioned elsewhere as i dont expect the management to accept responsibility.
Unfortunately i fear this could be the first nail in the coffin as mr general public won't buy many more excuses especially when it appears to be down to total incompetence by a very amateur outfit.
