Do you have times? It's not worth 20 pence without times.

What time do I need to leave sunny Sussex?
I'd rather be skiing

Dee, see link below, there is a viewing area that is open Thursday/Friday & Monday, specifically to cover arrival/departures, it is correct that the actual WAVE is not open on the Thurs/Friday/Sat/Sun/Monday.

Crossed lines I think, the WAVE is closed for the duration!

Another area is opened within the airfield to allow viewing for payment on Thursday, Friday and Monday!

£5 per person no re-admission for the ON BASE spectators area - done to stop people parking their cars and & then standing on the side of the A15 I believe.

My info is still Thursday for the Turkish Stars display practice - don't have timings for anything on Thursday

Tuesdays arrivals start at 9.00

I got to the spectators area at 9.00 last year & had to park 4 rows back & it's not a small area either - however there was plenty of room to get to the fence if you wanted to take shots photos


amended as I know XP would turn up with his shot gun!!!!! =)) =)) =))
