Initially, everyone thought 'tee hee, dumb spams have the wrong aerodrome'. However, I read somewhere that what actually happened was that the Buff crew arrived on time at the planned position, but the show was running late. ATC then made them hold at a location from which they could not safely haul the Buff around to conduct their planned display, so after a couple of holds they left the area in righteous disgust at the ineptitude of the display manager.....
