Hey lads, when I were a lad my local B of B day was at Royal Air Force Gaydon. At the time home of No2 Air Navigation School with Varsities. I well remember a day when the weather was dog guano, with a low cloud base and drizzle. The faithful turned up, having been promised a new twist in the contributions from many U.S. Military flying units. The Lightnings took off and displayed, the Shackleton did its flyby, and lots of other RAF aircraft performed their low cloud displays. No U.S. Teams/contributors flew that day, announced through the PA that the weather was outside of their permitted parameters. It was a bit of a let down for someone eager to see some USAF aircraft. The only Air displays I've attended since we're as part of a participating C130 crew, it all looks different from that side.
