I can't help but notice a lot of your responses are either short or very rude. I feel that there should be a level of respect given to those who pay hundreds of pounds to attend The World's "Biggest" and most "Exciting" Airshow no ?
I left a review (my opinion) on the Official Facebook page which then resulted in me being blocked from the page. Why was this ? Because my view was not to the standard of your own ?
The lack of static aircraft the lack of Helicopters and not to mention the lack of Atmosphere that once used to be at RIAT has now gone and it seemed like Ascot minus the horses. Marquees and pavilions blocking the view of the runway and the view of paying customers. Shuttle buses not running smoothly as we had to get of one but then onto another just to get to the exit. You're official campsite advertising a bar and special surprises which never came to reality. 6 toilets for over a hundred campers. Lunch and breakfast ? A burger van which was out of chips.
I could go on with the disaster of what was this year's RIAT. But I'm sure I'm only going to get a condisending, rude response.

My only link with the RIAT operation is having attended every one since 1977 and having been a member of the friends since 1983. I’m afraid your post certainly gets a short, condescending answer from me – a single word in fact which isn’t far off the word used for a neutered male bovine.
How anyone can call 2016 a disastrous show is beyond me, great flying with the highest tech fighters in the world, visitors from the other side of the globe and, to put the icing on the cake, 2 Phantoms.
RIAT Air Ops reply’s are always clear, concise and informed. If they are, to you condescending, it’s purely because the poor bloke has to be fed up answering the same questions time and again about the flares situation which is out of his control and is probably just as frustrating to the organising team as the rest of us.
I’m assuming that you will not be wasting your time returning next year.
