AlanM,

Quite right, now you've got me lamenting that I no longer can.

Trust that all went ok with the Sunday night festivities and that the omelettes were up to their usual high standards

GD,

Have been to loads too, but mostly on the "live" side, so probably missed some of the busiest years on the public side.

Take your point. It was busy where we were on Sunday, but I didn't cover the whole airfield (too far for 2 little ones to walk), so you may have had a better overall view than me.

Darkstar,

Agree about the display....hard to put a finger on it, but it did seem to lack "something" this year. Even Sean (commentator) Maffett was losing the plot a bit as to what was to happen next at about 5pm on Sun.

Again, where we were, no real queues for the loos (my kids went about 5 times during the day and never had to queue for more than 5 mins).

All goes to prove that, at such a massive event, the circumstances can be completely different at one end of the crowd line to what they are 2 miles away at the other.
