Tim Prince should do the honourable thing and fall on his own sword.

The organisers had an obligation (to all those who had paid to support the event, and travelled incredible distances, at considerable expense) to ensure that there was somewhere decent to park !! I know that some enthusiasts had travelled from Germany, some from even as far as Japan !!

Planning for an event should start with 'car parking'.Afte rall, if you can't get people in, you can't have an event in the first place.

About £200 in our case.

I agree with you about the parking. If they'd done nothing but Mo-Mat the access 'roads' down the middle of each car park it would have helped tremendously, since the rest of the fields weren't THAT badly churned up.

Not a lot they could do about the flooding on the crowdline, though, really. That just needs the drainage sorting out, frankly.

[markb2908]

Although you can't control the weather, there should have been a 'wet weather plan'.

How about clearing half of the 'static' area and use this for parking. Surely that would have been better than cancelling the entire event, and I'm sure that they would have done this if the queen's visit depended on it !!!!!

I for one am £300 out of pocket (hotel accommodation that will not get refunded).

It's time the organizers of RIAT started to plan from 'car-parking' upwards not from F16 down.

I got in but only because i am an air cadet and i was working there since wednesday but to be honest everything on the showground was shut and there was no flying but i did get to see the queen present the raf her colours. If you want to get in for free and you are between 13 and 18 join Air Cadets

[Zobo79]

No, you can't get in unless you're a FRIAT member, which is WAY overpriced, in my opinion. But if you camp at Church Farm or Kempsford then half the display is directly over you either way and you can see the rest just as well as from the crowdline. I'd recommend Kempsford, as it's a lot cheaper, but either is good. We'll defo be there next year, as usual. Bummer about the cancellations, but you can't control the weather and it WAS a swamp on there.

Some of that footage was. The Red Arrows disp. on the saturday had clear blue skies!

[lazycalm41]

yep, this year its going to be a huge washout....hey and it was. perhaps it is time this event was planned for December or something, at least the weather might be better! Global warming! which part of the globe is that then??...nice vid tho
