We had an air display c*ck *p once, on the ground rather than in flight.
Our aircraft was prepositioned at Finningley and we retired for the night back at Waddo.
The next day we set off in good time for our slot only once we reached Bawtry we were emeshed in air display traffic. Northbound traffic was being channeled up the A1 (in those days it ran through Bawtry) and to the main entrance. We branched right and made for the back of the airfield only to be stopped by the police for breaching the traffic plans.
We explained our predicament and had a blue lamp escort to the east gate where we were given priority over the southbound cars at the gate.
The lesson was either stay on base the night before or fly in on the day.
