Thursday 3rd - The dress rehearsal for the air show is usually the Wednesday before but was cancelled due to weather. Handily for me this was held on the Thursday instead. So I spent the morning in the fields to the south of the airfield to catch the displays. Once those were completed normal training operations resumed for the rest of the day.
Friday 4th - Highlight of this day were really the arriving visitors for the airshow.
Saturday 5th - a families day kind of event not open to the public. Spent the day again in the fields to the south of the airfield in what was the best weather of the trip.
Sunday 6th - Sadly exactly as forecast the show itself was a complete washout from my point of view; though points must be awarded as almost everything flew as scheduled, though the Blue Impulse cancelled after a couple of passes signalling the end of the day.
