[Olicat]

Me and dad are planning to go to RAF Brize Norton and a few other places along the way on the 22nd.
Just letting you know

Thanks for the WARNING Matey, which OTHER PLACES are you hoping to view?

[Mayfly]

Crikey half term in a couple of weeks... you only went back a short while ago, make the most of it now!!

So where is between you and BZN then? Yeovil, Lyneham, Fairford?

[Olicat]

Kemble, something else and something else, Brize is the only Military place.

Il see if I can get the day off , but no promises

[Olicat]

Where's the best place for spotting at Brize?

But theres no parking space available by the crash gate now as they've put bollards up .

[Olicat]

Thanks!

[Cluny]

Cant go , one of our drivers already has the 22nd booked off
Have fun , least it will be dry now

[Olicat]

Don't worry it doesn't matter that much.

[Cluny]

Good luck

Not my pic but ive been told its about 6ft high [1 1/2ft higher than the previous fence]

[Mayfly]

Makes no difference to me, I would have a problem seeing over 4'6" fence!!!

[Cluny]

The previous fence had gaps in [picket fence] , this one doesn't

Fence is not a problem unless you want to stand directly under the aircraft approach.

There are plenty of gaps in the fence towards the Crash Gate.

[Olicat]

I'll try my best!



EDIT: We are now going on WEDNESDAY due to bad weather!

And cluny's not even going

[Olicat]

Will hopefully be going to Brize via Kemble and visiting Boscombe Down and Middle wallop on the way back

It's a 6:00 start for me

[Xplumberlives]

When you wrote that i was out on said trip

Now i am back i will process the RAW stuff and post them in another topic.

In the end i went to Brize, Kemble, Fairford, Oakesey park and Boscombe Down.

Was it reasonable weather then? been p'ing it down all day here.

[Olicat]

Terrible weather, what really annoys me is that on Thursday i had a dentist appointment and now i dont so we could've gone then. In nice weather
