I was at Fairford last year ......... got in for nowt too ..... Unfortunately I had a falling out with the coach company that I drove for so wont be doing it this year  :-[ :-[ :'(
The one thing that amazed me was how the Americans had everything closed up and armed guards round. The Brits...... on the other hand .... "Ayup mate are ya a coach driver? ........ here see what this is like to drive!!" ... I was in and out of cockpits all day but alas and alack the camera I had then fataly malfunctioned in an intense rainstorm during the day and it fried the memory card.

cheers
