It could be worse.
I was there when the F4 boys flew into the ground in the middle of the airfield (1989 or 90 IRC) on the day before the air day.
A tragedy which meant the air day had to be cancelled at extremely short notice.
It was impressive how the whole station pulled together to warn the local police forces, all the stall holders, static display and people from all over the UK and the rest of the world etc etc etc . Put up a huge numbers of hastily produced cancelled signs and made about a zillion phone calls (all routed by telephonists, BEags). It was a very well co-ordinated operation and required an 18 hour shift for most people there at the time.
