Suggests "effects" doesn't go onto the official Facebook page. UKAR's criticism is positively tame in comparison:
This is just a sample. I don't recall such negative feedback on an airshow since the Terry Jervis disgrace for the RAF at Abingdon in 2007.
Davin Wakeford:I have wanted to see this air show for years so was very very disappointed when we visited yesterday. Most of the halls were shut with no one in them and not much to see on the ground either. The air display was minimal to say the least. Save your money on a very expensive ticket and don't bother going, I know I will another year....
Paul Prictoe: Oh for the great Farnborough Airshows of the past. Surely the organisers could have found a few more fast jets to liven things up. I actually got bored this afternoon
Jon Agar: its a Dead Duck, locals hate it, Traders Hate it. make it every 4 years .... Killed there show space by building flats....nice one Tag Group, just like every other thing you touch, it turns to non event , Close it or move it. its embarasiing now.
Thomas Ashley: Shoreham is a disingenuous excuse for a not-even-half-arsed Red Arrows display. If it is unsafe for the Red Arrows how come it's not unsafe for the other display teams and fast jets whose routines are not directly over the runway? And with a single pass from the Battle of Britain Memorial, in the 100th anniversary of the RAF they flew for barely 5 minutes in total. Pathetic.
Annette Wright: Well, I blinked and missed the Red Arrows!
Abdul Rohim: How can i get a refund please?
David Downie: Farnborough this year was the weakest airshow I have ever been to. Disgusted to say the least. Went On Friday and the flying line up was dismal. The statics were few and far between, pathetic, saving grace was complimentary VIP Hospitality from JEEP, thank you JEEP you saved the day.
Farnborough you let the public down.
Jamie Greenslade Stick to Fairford Riat won't be going to this pile of crap again unorganized chaos parking over 20 minutes walk 3 burnt burgers £33.00 £7.50 3 bottles of warm water flying display was a joke yet again left to the Americans to entertain us with the F16 I think this airshow location should be shut down period will be requesting a full refund that's for sure !!
Lisa Greenway: I have attended the airshow most years since I was a child. 2018 will be my last year. What an absolute atrocious event. I have never been so disappointed. This year I encouraged many other family members to come with us and needless to say I was super embarrassed. The show was an absolute joke. I will definitely not be coming again. Seriously agree with others in the thread, if not a refund, an official apology at least should be given.
Suggest you have a read before the owners sanitise the page...
A fifty pound airshow, folks.
