The event started on th 17th with 2 spectator days Sat/Sun to coincide with BTCC.

Very sad news though.

I am not really sure its Melissa the crashed aircraft on the sky news channel isnt the one she normally flies and Im sure shes not in her 40s either

I was thinking of going down to Silverstone tomorrow to watch Gerry Cooper but I feel it may be postponed now

I agree but I dont think it is her as sky news report the lady was in her forties but still a tragedy as these pilots put on such great shows and normally for free, If anyone ever has the chance to see Gerry Cooper put on a display all I can say is just watch he is absolutely amazing
 
Melissa, born June 22, 1984 - its not her. shes 3 years younger than me.
