I'm guessing the flying display participants are as we see them now, too late for any more to be added I'd assume.

Morning All,

Just been caught out by the advance ticket only for Friday, sales no longer available and cannot pay on the day, tried ringing the promoter, told I was too late, nothing to do to help :-(

My question is, how much do they close the local area on the Friday, is there still anywhere you can photograph from ??

Thanks for any information.

Rob

Rob,
Have a read of Alfie's post on the previous page of this topic.
Good luck.
Freeman
It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

You have somewhere between Bob Hope & No Hope of getting anywhere close to Yeovilton without an Entrance Ticket!
If you've read the Traffic Order, you'll have discovered it's easier to get closer to Area 51 than Yeovilton this coming w/e!
For what's on offer & given the current weather cycle, better to save your time & money for another day ? :halo:

Thanks

I was in the within the County but a few miles East of Yeovilton, saw the Sea Vixen on her run in whilst I was driving, then saw the BBMF come by me as well as the B17. Could hear the Typhoon display nice and clearly!

1st time I've managed to do the museum & airshow in one day, poor turn out this year but lots of cheap t-shirts, German beer on the transall & a good chat to some of the aircrews made a good day out.
