I believe the official time is 8 o'clock but generally opens earlier to stop queueing on the A15. Happy to be corrected tho'.

Dunk,

The WAVE won't be open, but the park and view on base will be.

See John's posts on the following thread.

'I have spoken to the airshow director today and due to health and safety and being within the safety area for displays, i shall not be able to open for the arrivals or departure days.'

If anyone is wondering why the Park and View is not advertised on the RAF Waddington Airshow website? Normally by this time a webpage is set up to advertise it.

'Its all to do with a legal issue, with regards to advertising the event. In theory it becomes a public airshow, which has implications for validating unseen displays. In future it will change in the way the viewing area operates and will most likely go to pre registration and invitation'

Same for Monday, they will be open as usual but all aircraft will launch and depart, no flypasts or displays, just departures.

John

Great to hear, that suits me just fine as everything has virtually departed by about 3pm. Makes it handy for getting home before the rush hour.

[Snafu]

I see elsewhere that there will be no more additions to the flying programme as there is already 7 hours of flying displays in place. Looking at the listings, where are the 7 hours come from?! At the minute I'd rather have my 3 hours constant, top quality at Flying Legends than 7 hours of padding....

[Snafu]

Let's hope it's wrong as a damp Waddo would about put the tin lid on it

Cheers fella, couldnt find that when I was hunting through!

Any idea of the cost for park and view?

[Sheff]

Not really, seen as I don't use the Park & View.

[Sheff]

Yes, far away from the assembled idiots

[Dunk]

Meanwhile..... Anyone know how much it is for park n view?

I am surprised there is no mention of her "Rear of the Year" to bull it up some more, at least she will be there heading up a good event and worthwhile cause...

As a Maths guru, perhaps she could draw up some charts documenting aircraft participation trends at the show over the past 10 years. That would be an interesting exhibition.

What is that in the top right hand corner of the map? Is it watermark or has Waddington been visited by creatures of a higher intelligence? And I don't mean Liam Fox!
