Well done, Andy, for an excellent log of an "almost never reported" annual event.
For the future, as I will be over there for some of the future events (and certainly 3 years time - which should be a big one again), can you tell me if they use the dispersals down the Eastern end on the North side of the runway?? And what is the viewing like there - on the road off the D612 (from the village) that runs close to that area?? Or is there a better place??
