A smidgen to the right of the middle, just above the bottom road.  The long white thing is the marque and the TTE truck.

That's only half the show though...

You see the trees in the top hand right corner? To the right of those was the same amount of cars again! That place is HUGE!

Decent chance? I'd say it's gotta be at least 99%...!

Yes, it was taken Saturday around 10am or something.  It was a friend of the organiser who arrived by Helicopter, it circled a few times so there must be a few more photos somewhere.

Must have been later than that as the white gazebo wasnt moved onto the pitch until lunchtime (IIRC)

Is it just an illusion from the air, or was the show not as "dense" this year? There seems to be a lot of open space around, both on/between the stands, and the camping areas??

Actually, I reckon that one may have been taken some other time, the breakfast tent isnt there, and my silly car isnt either, which leads me to believe that that shot was taken either before 8.30 on Saturday or after 2pm on Sunday.

it was definatley taken Saturday-  I reckon it was in the morning when we first moved the cars into these positions as Lee was next to me but later moved (his car is to the left of mine in the pic). On the sunday Coley and I were neighbours and the yellow one was next door but one to me - so it's definatley not sunday.

SWP's car is where it was on Saturday, the SA is out of it's trailer so defo after 10:00, the silly car and breakfast tent are both in place. All the evidence points to lunchtime / early afternoon on Saturday.

I'll ask Nigel if he took any more pics, he was one of the Skyline boyz, he turned up early Saturday morning and managed to snap some pics one handed (whilst trying to land hehehehhe)
