    @Shakenbake No I just did the very reasonable 15minute flight option at £45 and was worth every penny.

    @Shakenbake Probably not as kid I loved going to the airshow there. Park and Ride bus is an option the traffic is a nightmare,

    @Treadmill103 It's worth a visit I'm just down the road from the place, but it is expensive to get in I was a bit shocked when they told me the price of entry. I took loads of photographs.
