Beaut pics Paul. and that's one heck of a show - apart from maybe Fairford or Greenham Common, I doubt we'd have a place big enough to stage such a huge show here in the UK !
 
Thanks guys, just got home from Day 5, not sure if I will go out for 6 and 7, just exhausted. Spent 15 hours out there today and even after 5 days still have not seen it all. Wonder how many miles I put in this week. Will post some pictures in the morning

She is big Terry, this is an areal shot of the North 40thy of the grounds and only a part of it, This picture was not taken by me but found on Facebook. This does not show the seaplane base or the south 40thy LOL
 
Great pics again Paul, and thanks for that aerial shot.
It's certainly a big field, although perhaps not quite as large as I imagined. The problem here in the UK, especially since the new rules were introduced this year, is space. We have big enough venues, such as Fairford where RIAT is held, but not all of the airfield can be used, and then there's the problem of over-flying the surrounding districts, and the traffic-flow on the ground.
Being a relatively small lump of rock, it doesn't take much to cause a (vehicle) traffic grid-lock, and the airspace is almost as crowded as it was during WW2 !!
Some day, I gotta to get to one of the big shows in the 'States !
