Just been reading on FC that they seem to think the police are clamping down and won't be allowing any parking on the side of the road for the 16 ship flypast -


Over to you XP to do some investigation perhaps!!



Hence why Dad suggests that you all get there early.



Reading the FC thread further it has evidently come from RAF Cottesmore and the police will actively be stopping all parking including in the villages -

only giving you a heads up on what I've read

Well the RAF are not making any provision to allow people on to camp so they will all park as and where they can, if necessary, I will be on the farmland with my shotgun!

Sounds like a few canny people trying to stop it getting too crowded.

Like we do at Bruntingthorpe when stuff's flying in

It may well have been a rumour started by Cottesmore to put people off but I doubt FC have said it to put people off as they have arranged to meet at Waddington :(( :(( :((
