Andy Green Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I plan on going on Saturday, have some paints to pick up from Phil Clark. What I saved on postage pays the entry fee. Andy Edited By Andy Green on 16/07/2014 18:01:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Jones Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Really gutted about the weather today, I imagine it was a washout, was really looking forward to going today. I just can not believe the weather we had yesterday compared to today. I know its on tomorrow to but its the grass is properly a mud path. If anybody is there or has been today can he post of how the grass is, did anybody fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it from good authority that there is no parking allowed on the grass this year, parking will be on the airfields taxiways so there may be a bit of a walk to get to the show itself. I'm going tomorrow as the weather looks ok at the moment. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good info Mark, parking was a concern of mine as the grass could have been saturated from rain today. Looking & more like I'm going on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Vinten 1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Has anybody been to the show today We have traveled 400 mile round trip so hoping it will be ok for Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hooper Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 We went today for the afternoon. Understandably, the rain kept the punters away and the flying down to what could be grabbed between showers. No parking on the grass, but no mud evident. The ground is firm and well-drained. Lots of traders in attendance too. Tomorrow should be a lot better, I feel. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Wet was not the word for it yesterday. But come4pm the sun came out and it turned out cracking for the hard ones who were left. Ground is firm. No mud and the promise of a good day today.Get yourselves here because you're worth it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark a Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just got back from another good show put on by the LMA well done all involved. Didn't buy much for a change just sat and watched some great flying. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I too just got back from a good day as a spectator/visitor. Good weather, good trade presence and lots of flying to watch. Not the best year for spectators though because we were so far back from the flight line due to the need to protect the grass strip. Also the commentary was not perfect due to technical problems (some may say that's no bad thing) but when there were so many in the air at such a distance, good commentary was needed. Still a great day out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slopetrashuk Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Heard there was a model into person crash after about 5pm. Dawn Patrol into Pyro Guy prop first? Any news? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn Patrol into Pyro Guy prop first? Any news? Andy That's awful if true. We went about 12 and left at 16.30 a bit disappointed that we had to park out side of the top hangers and walk to the flight line. But the kids loved looking at the aircraft in the hangers so it wasn't too bad. Had a really good day but it just did not feel like a big show this year, even the wife commented that she thought it was a small show compared to last year. Obviously the rain had an effect Edited By Brett Jones on 20/07/2014 23:18:18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamWh Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have a friend that went and saw the incident. He said they had had to call an ambulance for the casualty. Hope he is alright now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djay Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Flew all the way over from Dubai this year, travelled up from Essex on Saturday morning and all was ok until I hit the M54 when the heavens opened up. Was pouring when I got to Cosford, but around 9.00 it stopped. Then the heavens opened up again around 9.30 and the flying show was cancelled indefinitely. Some of the traders did not open but most did. The food stalls were terrible, I got short changed at a burger stall and was given a burger which was inedible, all burnt and hard, so that went in the bin. I left around 11 as the rain was terrible, but as soon as I was of the M54 it stopped, and back in Essex it was bone dry all day. So I paid full price to get in when they knew there was no flying, had something expensive that was sold as food but was not, done 5 hour round trip as well as the flight over , but I did manage to buy half the SLEC stand to restock my workshop, so not all was lost.

Chris Barlow Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Feel for you and anybody who went on the Saturday! We went on the Sunday I also tried to buy out all the balsa stock at Slec but ran out of money first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
