Families Day 2011

Post by Planesite » Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:55 pm

Hi All, I have had it confirmed that there is a families day at RAF Wittering on the 22nd July. It is said as this is the last one it will be quite a bash.

Hi, as you may know wittering is one of the worst places to view from and im not too sure my self, A47 is quite busy but this and the A43 are the best areas, Around the area of Barnack can be good but will be a distant veiw.
