And with regard to Culdrose, there is a cottage hospital almost directly below the display line, so I do wonder how much longer the air show there wil continue now.
No airfield or possible venue is free of surrounding infrastructure Martin, my point is that there are limits. Shoreham is very small and surrounded by things such as a dual carriageway and a tall church with a spire then houses either side, the problem is just how much there is to avoid and at what proximity to the runway, I'm no display pilot but would have thought that all rest with the amount of roads and buildings versus the amount of open field and airfield over which there is room to manoeuvre. I've thought for a long time that Farnborough and Biggin Hill were events that could be staged elsewhere, if only to avoid the air traffic overhead. Culdrose, I would have thought, was safe enough, within reason.
