Farnborough Air Show 2008 - ZERO Infringements!

One of the facts released at a 'wrap up' meeting for the bienniel Farnborough Air Show was that despite two weeks of formal restrictions of flying across popular areas of Class 'G' in mid July 2008, there were NO infringements (and that's for the second Farnborough Air Show in succession).

Well done to everyone concerned, and that means UK pilots as well as the clubs, air traffickers, magazine editors, forum moderators, AIS staff, aviation organisations and the 2008 Farnborough Air Show planners, all of whom helped spread a consistent message running up to, and during, the two weeks of restrictions.
