Delayfest 2003
Much sympathy for anyone trying to fly on Monday 21st. International Air Tattoo at Fairford. 400 aircraft leave on Monday and a significant number [fighters/formations etc.] use the airway system. Always coincides with the busiest weekend of the school holiday year. It is claimed that steps are taken to minimise disruption to "ordinary traffic" but in my experience there will still be a considerable number of passenger jets stuck on the ground to make way for things with only one seat.
