I quite enjoyed it apart from the drizzle this morning.
Thought the Polish team the Orliks were good, but then that's me.
Two things I have noticed, first, I wish they would bring back the deck chairs to the viewing village the garden chairs give me a stiff neck.
Secondly when it was the jubilee garden it was mostly enthusiasts, that watched the aircraft until the end of the display.
I've noticed this year that there were numbers of family groups that turned up and immediately circled the wagons so to speak, by rearranging the chairs into circles. They then proceed to talk amongst them selves, wander about, anything but watch the aircraft. The bunch along from me even carried on doing this when the Red arrows were doing their stuff. It makes me wander why they spent the money on tickets when they could have done the same thing in their local pub at far less expense. Still every penny helps the Benevolent fund. Then most of them left after the Arrows, which meant the enclosure was nearly empty by four o'clock!
