Well, I followed 'Traveller's' rule of airshow enthusiast and spent well over £50 on die-cast models
Got the Belgian F16 model from their merch stall on the Saturday, and a Hawkeye and Viking from the Hobby Master range at the Aviation Retail Direct stall in the P&V East enclosure on the Wednesday (a bit of a tradition
).
Also bought the U2 pint glass which came with the obligatory certificate.
For the first time I bought a few patches, from the SOF Maintainers by the Osprey, and again the U2 lot. Got a free Midnight Hawks patch when they came to the FRIAT grandstand.
Amy got a load of tshirts, she seemed to get on well with the aircrew at various stalls, always handy having her around
Plus, have got a very high keep rate of pics from the 3,000 that I took (not machine-gunned).
All in all, a very successful trip and have already booked our Mach 3 for next year
