Is that in the slip road next to Shoreham airfield?
We are down there next week for the airshow so might make use of it.

Hoping you're okay - given today's circumstances.

It was the other side of the airfield over ½ mile north of us, looked a lot closer the fire ball was huge.
Silence this morning no aircraft activity at all now 9:45 am, normally when air show on planes would be arriving from about 8:30 and planes up practicing.
Even if they wanted to go ahead may not be possible with the A 27 closed A 259 can not cope with that volume of traffic.

Many thanks for your concern Langtoftlad.

Yes we were okay, but rather shaken as were most of the huge crowd at Shoreham. We were in the centre of the airfield so well away from the devastation.
As we were working we really had to keep it all together for the sake of the other volunteers as well as the public. There were many people, including burly men, in tears though.
We were pretty much holding it together until our lovely Vulcan did her fly past in tribute. That was just too much for many and there were many more tears as well as spontaneous applause.
A weekend never to be forgotten.

Richard.

Glad you're all safe & sound .
