I've heard a rumour that this year's Leuchars Airshow should be good. I'm trying to get an idea of how many participants are coming (before you bother to return the forms the day before!!!) and ideas for what makes a good airshow party (I have a hand in organising that). I've been to a few good bashes but I'd like to know what you think.

Cheers Britney;)
