I can recommend it Paul - great place, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Given that this was held on a small, grass airstrip, more or less in the back of beyond, the organisation throughout was possibly the best I've seen at any airshow, with superb traffic and car-parking control, no traffic jams, easy access and exit and, although there were in excess of 20,000 people, there was plenty of space and open areas, and no congestion.
First pics below show the airfield area and approach roads on the Saturday before the show. The entrance, at the west end of the field, is behind the white 'Security' car in the first pic, whilst in the second pic, looking the other way, the white marquee beneath the trees is the main car park, charging only 2 Euros ($2.25, £1.75) for a full day parking !
