Why not move 'Farnborough' to Fairford. Either Hold it the week after RIAT, or combine the events. Two years to think about it and come up with an alternative venue. The Aerospace companies need some place to show off their kit and wears at its best. Not be hemmed in by the changing face of the airfield its self and the housing developments. Farnborough is hallowed ground and the cradle of British Aviation, but viability as a flying display venue, it is increasingly looking untenable.
That said the CAA response to the Shoreham crash is an attack on the British airshow, in terms of increased costs and charges.... are they really justified ? A tightening of rules and regulation yes. Because this crash has highlighted shortcomings in the CAA its self.. Airshow organizers and display authorization. But did they really need to slap such huge increases in costs in to the bargain too ?
