I arrived 1915ish on Sat. No problems with the procedure from the south, though I do agree that the AIC could have been clearer - on the diagram some more info would have been useful, such as where to call final.
The presentation of prizes was rather long and tedious. Nick Bloom is a fine pilot but not the world's best compere! I had to watch it as a friend won the Squadron Trophy!
Beer at £2.50 a pint was acceptable but I wouldn't frequent a pub that charged those prices.
The stands seemed "slimmer" than in previous years.
I picked up an oil filter opener and a 3/8ths AF ratchet spanner.
Loos were adequate and I even head rumours of showers!!
Lots of nice aeroplanes - yet again a mighty fine Pitts line up. The S1-11B (Pitts Super Stinker) won the Squadron Trophy - a great aeroplane that I first saw being built in Oct 97.
I especially liked the very nicely finished bipe with the Mazda engine - Isaacs Fury.
The only downer was the 90 minute wait for fuel on the south side on Sunday morning. I guess I just chose the wrong time!
The cadets were great at marshalling and a good time was had by all my mates.
Looking fwd to next year already!
