Good weather combined with the presence of XH558 drew in plenty of punters at Waddo to ensure the gates shut early to ticketless punters, and then later to ALL punters on Saturday.

Tickets for Saturday were honoured for Sunday Entry, the the gates still shut early due to lack of parking, despite the bad news of XH558 not flying.

Official figures are at 170,000 for the weekend.

If the weather's good, then it'll be by ticket only, but if it's crap & raining, and they don't cancel & claim on their insurance, then they might reconsider in order to recoup costs.

As the Met Office can reasonably forecast about 5 days in advance, then I suppose a decision must be made at about the same time based on that forecast. I admit I've not checked, but anyone know the forecast for FFD? - I reckon it must be good.
