Airshow: Shuttleworth Spring Air Display 2016
A bright and sunny day coupled with a first visit by the Red Arrows to Shuttleworth, guaranteed large crowds as this small grass strip. New display lines and regulations have been put in place post the tragic Shoreham crash, which have changed the feel of UK airshows. My hope is that all parties continue to work together and review the requirements and strike the right balance between safety and the viewing experience.
