Re: Flight tracker

Hi. Thanks for activating my account. Long time lurker, mostly following activities around Fairford as I’m a local. Looking forward to joining in more now! Happy to help with advice re viewing spots around Fairford and Brize Norton as I’m regularly out cycling in the area.

Re: Viewing Guides
Given the number of visitors during the current deployment, just a quick FYI. All parking access to the viewing spot by Rhymes Farm has been blocked off due to the ongoing building works. Security are on site during working hours and are very keen to move anyone on.
