    Cosford Air Show turned into a disaster for us. After hours in traffic with everyone bursting for the loo we heard on the radio that the main show was starting. Despite planning well and setting off to get there early in the morning our ETA at 6 miles to go was about 3 p.m.! Decided to cut our losses and find some toilets and spend the rest of the afternoon at home. Total chaos and ruined my birthday treat. Obviously won’t be going back again and will see what can be done about refunds. I simply can’t imagine what was going so badly wrong at the other end that the traffic couldn’t move!
