FAIRFORD Airshow has been for numerous years now the highlight of the year for us. We have always been used to having a relaxing enjoyable day out there.
This year, however, on the Saturday and Monday we were literally overwhelmed by photographers hell bent on getting their photos, regardless of who else was around them.
One, for example, with all his gear, though politely asked, refused to move to let my wife in her wheelchair out, which unfortunately led to a confrontation.
What on earth takes over these guys with their cameras when they start taking photos? Selfish/oblivious/obsessed are some words that spring to mind.
They are ruining the airshow as a relaxing, entertaining family day out. Are those days now gone?
I spent nearly all of Saturday having someone taking photos, backside shoved in my face. Not a sight that I paid good money for.
The first photo on your gallery ‘More photos from Fairford’ (July 17) gives a good example.
