Due to very strong winds. Thousands of people turned up, and were turned away.
This was taken on one of the practise days...he he. Very noisy, very smoky, very spectacular.
I would have loved to be able to be in the official photography location, or in the plane. 
See Link to site in my next post. Nice bit of video and gallery.

That's too bad. I'd love to see one of these, but they don't come anywhere near me.
At least you made it for the practice day -- well done.

Look at this link
Link Can i recommend the Kata T-214 if you want a small bag that can still hold a reasonable amount of gear? I am working on a review of it right now, that I am hoping Jules will publish - I am quite impressed.

I will have a look, thanks...but.. I may get a small backpack though as I don't like carrying bags and the camera as well. I have a 350d + kit lens + Tamron 70-300 macro and I will most probably add a 50mm 1.8 prime next. I could be happy with that I think. I will borrow a 300mm L sometime just to see what I am missing out on but the weight will probably put me off.

Theres some amazing shots in the gallery in that link. Do you have to pay large amounts of money to get in the 'official photography locations'?

I don't think so, I reckon the guys with the yellow jackets were either press, Longleat workers or friends of the pilots, marshalls etc. I could have got a bit nearer by walking back up the road for 1/2 kilometre, or possibly up the top where the marquee/gazebo is.
I fly kites, and a friend of mine was invited to fly, along with others there on the race day. I could have gone in as his assistant  but his show was cancelled anyway. Too windy for kites as well. They will most probably go to Aus. in the future. Maybe you could write or e-mail the organisers and get on their official photographer file and get paid..paid...paid.
