darkbarly's link above is fairly clear as to the reason, and blames neither the non-flying public nor potential fly-in visitors.

It really is worth clicking through and reading it.

I was booked to go in last year and signed the waiver.

In the event I didn't due to the horrendous cross wind, that was my call. If I'd decided to try and had a problem got no issue with that being anyone's fault but mine.

I flew into Staverton instead and tried to get a taxi there-I can echo the point above about traffic, it was diabolical with shambolic organisation. We didn't get there in the end, there were many many disappointed and frustrated people, not helped by the way the organisers dealt with the follow up.

Sorry, I know it was a voluntary event, but just saying as it was.

Apologies
 
Sorry, I hadn't clicked on the link. So I can now see reasoning. If they do organise a future fly-in, then at least others will have opportunity to fly in (crosswind allowing) and it will be a good experience, but unfortunately with no airshow.

Last year they took great care to brief people with videos of approaches to all potential directions, so did everything to make it safe (or to help people to decide not to try). I will always support those who help us to go somewhere new/different..?....
