No problem,
As for the 2004 airshow both days were heavily affected by the weather particularly the Saturday, I remember the show being curtailed on the saturday due to a front of rain and wind moving in around 3 pm I remember the Hunter starting its display but then being enveloped by the wind and rain and then abandoning ship. Also the beach assault with army and helicopters etc was ruined too. BBMF cancelled as did many other items although the wingwalkers made it and put on a fantastic display as did the Tornado F3 sadly Jaguar didnt display due to atrocious conditions. I also remember the T33 silver star going fuel critical and having to return to duxford saturday I think, also remember the yakovlevs or aerostars displaying on saturday. On the Sunday 4 Harriers displayed and hovered for the crowd also poor weather meant the catalina made one flyby before returning to Duxford on the sunday but may have been the saturday having read the link below. Here is a link to a report from the sunday of the show. Hope it helps :- probably
worst weekend weatherwise ever at the show surpassed only by the Sunderland airshow 2008 affected both days by Heavy Seafog
when hardly anything flew.
