Airfields do exist which are still in the middle of the countryside and easily accessible by public transport.....
Sufficiently far enough South of the A64 and East of the A1M not to pose a risk to travellers going about their business.......
Adjacent minor roads managed by local Traffic plan and a helpful District Council to further reduce risk.....
Unfortunately airfield purchased too late to meet the mil participation deadlines so heavily reliant on vintage jets and less noisier props but envisage a healthy mil attendance in lieu of Waddo next year.
Vulcan 'display' not yet affected and graceful 'displays' by Venoms, Vampires, Spits and Mustangs should still satisfy the most discerning viewer - with the odd world champion aerobatic display from our civilian colleagues.......plus the Dakota, Sea Fury blah blah.
Suffice to say air shows still have a great future in UK - it just might mean that they will not be held within suburbia!
