Tiger, I agree entirely. I made a point of observing what was going on during the Waddington show. It's remarkable how many people don't even look at the flying display aircraft, especially youngsters. Most of the kids I noticed were playing football, not looking at the aircraft.
It's symptomatic of the way things are now. As you'll see on an adjacent thread, some numpty has had a go at me for supporting the interests of enthusiasts. As usual, he thinks we're worthless - shows are all about entertaining kids it seems. If that's really true, then they're evidently doing a pretty poor job!
