Feel sorry for those who look forward to this event, and for the organisers, but perhaps a blessing in disguise. There is a major gliding competition at neighbouring Aston Down that week, with about 76 competing gliders and eight tugs. The airspace around there, with around 1000 visiting aircraft over the three days, would have been choc a bloc, I suspect.

Is it that the staff that until a bit over a year ago could quite happily 'come over 'ere and take our jobs', now can't, and it turns out that they weren't actually 'our jobs' after all?

Asking for a friend.... :pirat:

More likely to be local people, as you know, Kemble is in the middle of nowhere with no public transport so getting to work could well be challenging.

Little bird tells me the reason is Netflix are filming there and will run over schedule and are quite happy to bung a little extra for the privilege of staying on and pushing the expo out :roll:
