Yes it still happens. The show takes place twice a week and is still a crowd puller. It's only a couple of quid for an hours entertainment. I remember sneaking in as a kid.

Plenty of pyrotechnics worth seeing if you are in the area
Last weekend I had a contractor in the office to do the
paperwork on method statements etc
Saw one of the seven screens had Mayhem on it
Do you have anything to do with Scarborough Radio Control Ships
Not Radio Control but blokes walking round inside them
I dont believe you
