Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Is anyone interested in military aircraft as me and Shaz are. We go here every year and its a fantastic day out. And not forgetting the vulcan is coming :doubleup:

We go on the Saturday very early in the morning so as to avoid the queues.

Any body interested in coming?

Gates open at 7.30am and that is the best time to get there, if not, picture this senario, 3 entrances, off narrow country lanes with about 50,000 people trying to get in :angst: speaking from experience :doubleup:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Steve/Martyn, on saturday how about meeting here at these services at 06.30am, Reading East M4 junction between 11 and 12 eastbound? :doubleup:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

I get the feeling we might be meeting you there Baz :lol:

Leaving at 5.00am, although probably the best plan is probably not going to happen.

I reckon we will leave about 6.30 - 7.00am. Am I right Martyn? Or do you want to go early doors?

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

That will fookin teach me, checked the tickets last night and all good, none on ticketmaster today.

Great when work gets in the way.

I am now checking barclays banks branches

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

All sorted, barclays have loads of them.
Dont know what all the panic was about. lol :whistle:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Easy peasy, cheesy, squeezy, japanesey, fleasy, kneesy uurrrrmmm :paranoid: ................... I'll get my coatsy! :getmecoat:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Not bloomin 5am thats for sure.

Pm sent

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

I know what you mean mate. I will still be firmly in the land of Zzzzzzzzzzzzz at that time. :lol:

Especially if we have done the old migration / curry / couple of sherberts thing :mrgreen:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Steve. Be sure to visit the "Vulcan Village" at Fairford. You might get some ideas for our "Squadron supporters boards". You might also get a good shot of some logos!!!!! :whistle:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

I have already spoken to young "chock" who has made a list of Squadron Photo requirements.

I will come back with plenty of shots and idea's for sure. :mrgreen:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

Just to be advised guys, as the vulcan will be flying it will be at the other side of the base, in the active participation section which means queuing up for the bus to take you over to see it :doubleup:

Re: Fairford airshow Saturday 18th July.
 

We are going early for a couple of reasons:-

1. To get in easier.
2. To get a parking space so we can get out easier. 80,000 people and most leave at the same time
3. To get a good vantage point.
4. To sit and listen to the tannoy system and then laugh to ourselves at around 8am to all the people who are stuck in the 3-5 mile tailbacks who did not get there early and avoid the queues, which will then usually increase to about 5 - 7 miles by 9am. :whistle:

As I said we are speaking from experience, picture 80,000 people trying to get in the base through 3 single track gates in 2 and a half hours. :angst:

Just trying to help guys get in easier and get a good spot, we will get a good spot and make sure it is big enough for us all if possible, see you when you get there crowbuckboys :doubleup:
