The RAF are having a real bad luck with their events at the moment. To start with there was the fiasco with the 'Spirit of Misadventure' at Abingdon and a couple of days ago they cancelled the event at Kinross. Now there major show has had the second day cancelled by the Police, with officers needing to be deployed elsewhere due to severe flooding.

Yes, just got back to Tyneside from the Waddie fiasco, they let us on the base, took our money..............and just as we got to the statics.....hey presto!! show cancelled............What a wasted journey !!
They stated, the show was off because the base was water logged/ health & safety reasons.........why did it take so long to make the decision the show was off....its been raining for days!!. £16.00 & a tank of Diesel for nothing
Sorry for the moan.........let hope Fairford is an improvement both in weather and com's
I'm off for a beer..or 2 now

Hi Rob
Surely anyone who bought tickets for today will be entitled to a full refund.Hope you at least managed to see the SU 30's before the event was cancelled.
