The UK has about a fifth of the population of the US, so if about the same proportional numbers attend that would be about 2.5 million.

Also, it doesn't bode well that you're using the American public as a means to justification, imo.
over 200,000 were at Farnborough. That's just two but a pretty good start

One airshow that’s taken the airshow circuit by storm is the Bournemouth Air Festival. 2014 saw crowds of over 1.3 million along the beaches. The cliff provide a superb vantage point to watch the flying from with many displays at eye-level or below! The RAF, Royal Navy and civilian displays take place over four days. Away from the flying, they’ll be ground entertainment featuring fireworks, marching bands and more from 10am-10pm (5pm on Sunday).
