Parking at RAF Shawbury

Post by AndrewBarclay » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:48 am

Has the Station Commander at RAF Shawbury ever been approached to provide parking for the spotters and charge £10.00 to be donated to the Station Charities this as a one off only when The Cosford Airshow is taking place. The spotters could park in the
visitors car park and be bussed in to a secure area rather than block all the highways and byeways with inconsiderate parking.

Good idea particularly if there is a way of getting on security etc.

On Sunday the lane across the bottom of the airfield will be heaving it always is.

Bit like charging a few quid for everyone to bag all the new choppers one weekend.

Save all these repeat visits for one or two new ones!!

I'm still surprised they use Shawbury with so little staff around
when Brize is 24/7. Transit times are not that outrageous.

I think it'll be more to do with getting the crews back to Cosford before or after their slot for meet and greet type events.
