Don't know if it'll be different for the airshow but the museum website states smoking is not allowed inside any museum building, which kind of implies it's ok outside. There are no 'live' aircraft at the museum or on the static for the airshow so I presume it will be the same?

Just stand downwind from me ;-)

I'm a smoker at airshows. What I tend to do if I want quick puff is go off and wander around at the back of the crowd, or just refrain for a few hours, it goes quick enough when the displays are on.

Have a crafty smoke during the toilet break (RAFAT); there'll be enough smoke about anyway, people probably wouldn't notice... :-X

Filthy habit, and just look at the smokescreen you've caused behind that Apache in your avatar! Disgraceful. :hypno:
