Sadly there will be no privilege involved: 2013 seems certain to be the last Leuchars Airshow, irrespective of a vote one way or the other the following year.
I tripped over this thread on returning home last night after an evening out with the wife, during which we had by coincidence lamented the fact (as we believed) that our now three year old grandson would never again be able to visit Leuchars and have the unforgettable day out he had last year: so discovering there would be a final chance for him to stack up some unforgettable and "very very noisy" experiences hopefully including his favourites, the Red Arrows and Vulcan, was a real joy.
Once the Leuchars Airshow bites the dust, there will be just one sigificant airshow north of the border, again irrespective of Scotland's status. The East Fortune Airshow is a great day out, but it can't (and doesn't seek to) compare or compete with the major airshows of yesteryear at places like Finningley and Gutersloh, or Leuchars or the few remaining in England.
