yeh it's meant to be ok this year unlike last year when it got cancelled, i'm goin for the weekend, don't go into the show anymore cos we stay on a big hill campin thats right opposite the runway, and because it's no the other side of the crowd, it's under the flying circuit so we get a better show cos they fly over us so low you could throw stuff and hit them! they set car alarms off they are that loud!

should have seen the field we were on, it looked like glastonbury! didn't have the sax last year, if it's like that again i'm gonna have to leave the car at the bottom of the field! if you're only into watchin the planes and aren't fussed about goin in and lookin at the stalls and planes on the ground etc you should do the park and view on our site, it's about £10 and like i say the view you get is 50 times better than in the airfield itself! it's called totterdown farm btw
