Rumour on Scramble that the E-7 has been fixed

[robw210]

Apologies if this has been posted previously.

Are any of the public car parks on base this year ? , but if not what is the closest to the entrance ?

Shortest distance to carry all the bits and pieces..

Many thanks
Rob

Some are, some arent.

Looking at an aerial photo, green looks to be on base, others not. Hopefully someone who attends today can advise.

If not, you can use the drop zone left luggage facility.

A mix of 27 and 09 today it seems. Over the weekend it's looking like it'll be 27 throughout.

I'm in green today. It's not on base but just across the road from the entry at the 09 threshold.

Unfortunately due to weather around RAF Fairford and in the areas the flypast aircraft were forming, the RAF100 flypast has had to be cancelled.

WTF ! i hear rumour trump was due to be shown the flypast today, was that a load of crap pr did he go there today ?

RAF 100 Flypast CANCELLED

Rain started 15 mins before time (CB around before that). It stopped and cleared 10 mins later.
BBMF needed a decision as they were cooking engines on the ground waiting.

Exactly the wrong timing.
On the plus side, a lot of people have left, thinned the crowd out nicely.
