is it me, or is this just madness? (and potentially the start of the death of air displays)

They did the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight last weekend. Although the Festival of Flight wasn't anything like it had been in past years (previously called The Air Fair so it might be a completely different event) with an absence of top notch military planes like the Tornado and Typhoon. It only lasted one day as well whereas in the past it'd been a two day event.

I believe they've had insurance problems in the past (getting someone to insure it) so maybe it's down to that.

Glad its not just me.

I would expect them at farnborough too - cant see what shoreham has to do with anything. Obviously very tragic, but im not sure the current approach to shows is the best way to go.

Lets hope they display at your shows. Mike
