Was there yesterday for the practice and pre-qualifying. Good day, wasn't that bad price-wise and (if you're a petrolhead) was lots to see and dribble over...!
The Apache did a flypast down the pit straight on Thursday to co-incide with a Williams (ISTR) driving through - all a publicity stunt to shower praise on the defence industry for taking on civvie ideas. How marvellous. (They had the press looking at a Jetranger to publicise the heliport, when these things came flying through - supposed to really grab their attention - like a tray of canapes wouldn't have done the same thing).
The one thing I did find amusing was that the Army had decamped a whole Division of AAC guys and gals to help (but I never saw them anywhere near the Apache and I was at Copse for most of the day (where it was parked) - methinks there's a bit of taxpayer's being spent on hospitality here...) Anyway, I'd do it if had the chance!
