That's a shame.

Don't bother going to the Goodwood festival of speed instead. I had to be towed out of their car park by a 1950's RAC Land Rover last time. Drowned my Pentax ME Super too, it was so wet.

Sheesh -- the spectators will be well cheesed -- but think of all the organisation that has been put in, literally flushed away -- those guys must be gutted

Especially after paying premium room rates at the Hotels........this weekend all the Hotels 'up' their prices.......even 'we' are charging double for runs to/from the airshow.

Campsites spring up all around the airfield by farmers 'cashing in' on the event........bet those fields are a bit soggy tonight....

I went to Goodwood today(fri). No rain at all,    we left at 6.00pm. It rained on and off all the way back to Reading but not while we where there. It was due to rain about 9/10pm fri night but cant vouch for that. If you do go check the Mazda furai in the Sunday times supercar padock, a thing of beuty, it really is. Esp viewed from behind.
Rotary engine runs on meth or gas.
And what a wonderfull event. F1 cars, rally cars, indy cars, gp bikes, wsbikes, supercars.
You name it they smoke it.
