Just a large volume of traffic trying to get out of the parking area onto narrow roads.
Thats about sums it up. Anyone familiar with the area will know that it cannot handle large volumes of traffic over a short period of time. There are similar scenes when the Open golf is held a few miles away at St Andrews.The Winco in charge of the display arrangements has refused to blame the event management company, traffic was up 23% on previous years and he admitted that RAF personel would not have been able to do any better, given the infrastructure.
