Ghengis, CessnaPete was talking about the Jersey show I think, not CarFest...

The hugely popular Jersey Air Show apparently in the balance this year. The organisers being told that although the displays take place over the sea, that they must ensure no vessels of any sort must be moored in St Aubins bay. Any incursion of this rule means immediate cessation of flying. No spectators to be allowed at all on the whole of the bay beach, with severe vehicle restrictions in the vicinity, Elizabeth Castle must be clear of all persons. All these positions normally places of observation for this great show.
And of course the massive increase in fees
This event normally brings in a large amount of funds to Charitable organisations.
From the Jersey website:
The annual air display is organised by the Jersey International Air Display a.r.l. a not-for-profit company, which strives to raise monies for British Service Charities and to support the Island’s tourism industry.
