Get a refund.

The website is showing the state of the parking areas and the airfield grassed areas. There is no way that they will safely take 100,000 people with their cars / trucks. It would be horrendous for the authorities to deal with the recoveries of vehicles. The organizers had not choice and if Joe Spotter complains cos he hasn't been able to see an aeroplane, unlucky, think of others..

The real shame is the damage to the RAFCTE coffers, but public safety does come first.

The 2009 RIAT is to be held at Leuchars, no need for car parks as the public can walk from the train station.

Since when is next RIAT at Leuchars ?

Airtattoo website has a list of future dates for Fairford, no mention of Leuchars anywhere I can see.

Too easy

Serf... I think that can be recorded as a bite

Seriously though, what a bloody shame for all concerned

A real shame for the charities and all the 1000s of volunteers who've put so much effort into trying to make it all happen.

Top goonery from other posters though, well done.....

Today 16:16
Wheres this decision then

I am waiting to make other plans mr Prince
Can't believe the evil Mr Prince wasted 16 minutes of your valuable time, time that could otherwise have been devoted to curing cancer, discovering cold fusion and folding spacetime all in the comfort of your shed.

Today 16:25
I'm 200 miles away with tickets for tomorrow...so much for 4pm decision!
What am i supposed to do Mr Prince?????
25 mins late.....I can see your concern.
I think your best bet is to stay 200 miles away.
What exactly are you hoping Mr Prince will do? I suppose if you ask nicely he might come over and push you on the swings for a bit....

Mental.
