I think the downhill slide started when Museums became known as `Attractions`. As previously said, aviation enthusiasts are not bothered about , nor are photographers.

I cannot believe this is happening ! If our airspace cannot be defended against a radio controlled toy,what chance do we have should a real threat appear. Does this thing not appear on radar ??

Would be great to see the `100 stickered` 146 in the line-up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this event. The Weather improved after a dodgy start.
The `Bobsleigh` looked and sounded wonderful - credit to all concerned. :clap:

Huge thanks to Threshold Aero,who positioned lights perfectly,and ensured we all got good pictures.
