Yes it was disappointing but my major moan is that too many " carers " were allowed into the disabled compound. One young lad nearby had nine family members with him and they, and every other " able bodied " persons, insisted on standing up each time an aircraft was heard. Despite many polite, and abusive, attempts to get these people to sit down and stop blocking the view of those of us confined to wheelchairs the pleas fell on deaf ears and provoked looks of " stuff you mate I'll stand if I want to! ". We don't ask for much in life and don't wish to inconvenience others with our disabilities but this was " our compound " very graciously provided by HMS Heron and the afternoon was ruined. I managed a total of 12 photogrphs all afternoon and 10 of those were after the Vulcan failed to appear and the " enthusiasts " left early. I was very sorry to hear that they got stuck in the car parks aahhh!!
