[Aceyone]

Sorry ,I 'd like to make it but health reasons means a no go : nevertheless enjoy and I hope it p----s down

[Xplumberlives]

Me, Dave & Paul then???????

I am hopeful that MOD (Ian) will join us!

[Hihonyr8811]

I havn't said yes, simply because it takes us at least 3 hours to get there (we have tried most ways to get there and havn't found a quick one), and the last time I said I'd meet Paul there I think we rolled up at about 2pm
So if we go we'll be in the Lakenheath viewing area
That's the best I can do

[Xplumberlives]

Well we will be up the other end for the approaches!

[Sploosher]

Well we will be up the other end for the approaches!

Nice to know who your friends are isn`t it Helen........................

[Thumper]

Well I wish you all a lovely time. I'll be here doing a sun dance for you.

I don't know, because I've never been, but, by all accounts, you don't see much from the viewing area due to the mahoosive wire fence.

[Jigsaw]

You see enough from there Gaz and can always walk to the road for a better view as well. It does depend which way the wind is blowing of course.

[Thumper]

86mph at the moment so you'll need a fast shutter speed

You had a curry H?

[Hihonyr8811]

Well I hope when you get there the approach is at the other end
And it rains
And a pigeon poos on you
And, and, I can't think of anything else

[Thumper]

No, Bacon stew with Dumplings, but has the same effect as curry

*stays on-topic before the forum police arrive*

LH viewing area is nice as it's very spacious (when they bother opening it) but it is definately a place for stepladders (which will attract a security visit) as quite rightly mentioned, the fences are very high. You can get to see a fair bit from there but really it's a place for a video-camera or a big lens.

Dunno where everyone else goes but I found a little track on the right of the A1065 between some tree's, think it goes to a farm. If you park sensibly you can dump the car and walk down the verge and get some nice finals shots.

You lot won't get into trouble anyway, they just don't like motorbikes that go off-roading to get closer to the runway for "Bikes n Planes" shots

[Xplumberlives]

I would suspect that most of those going would be hoping to capture F15s and any visitors for posterity, the vewing area fence rather spoils the hoped for effect!

Hence I hope they will approach from the other end where photographic access is far better!

[Gaz]

I'm considering stashing my fishing kit in the car as well, just in case the weather is too rough for flying
