Four Types,
I recently visited the HoP and spent a few hours over a few beers with the local MP for Waddo. I had to admire his enthusiasm for the return of the airshow. He also showed a good level of understanding of how busy the station is (despite many assumptions at other units!) and how much of a burden the show places on serving personnel. As a result, I think he has one eye on Scampton as a potential, although I can't see how that unit could cope with the same level of airshow. It ain't big enough!! Waddo personnel would end up augmenting it too.
A bigger concern must be the risk management of having over 100000 people wondering around an ISTAR unit that is home to RJ and other very sensitive assets; a security nightmare.
Sadly, I think the airshow is long gone and I don't think the majority of folk working at Waddo will miss it!
