That's a real shame. I've only been to a couple of UK airshows - Goodwood and Shuttleworth Old Warden - but they were bloody brilliant. Only about 20 pounds entry (zero for kids), fantastic displays, masses of vintage aircraft. If they start disappearing it'd be a real loss to the public.

Here's a link to a petition on the new display charges, unfortunately for U.K. residents only:

Absolutely pathetic. I have sent the link to a number of my UK mates so they can sign, and forward to their mates. For God's sake don't let CASA see it.....

It's because paying money to the likes of the CAA makes it super safe. If the show organisers of Shoreham had handed over £20 000 the accident would have never happened........

 

God I hate these stupid ideas they come up with
