Duxford Newbie

Post by sneezy24 » Mon Aug 06, 2012 9:48 am

Hi all,

Done Fairford depature day and Farnborough on Enthusiats day so far, considering Duxford on 8 or 9 September. Probably 9th as I haven't seen the Red Arrows display this year (they hadn't validated for Friday due to weather).

I've been to Duxford, but not on a show day. What time do I need to be there, what is parking like, best locations for photography, food, drink, etc.....

I understand entry to the museum is included, so want a look around as it is a few years since I last went, what time do I need to be out of the museum?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mick,

It's my first Duxford this year (for a show).

Museum is brilliant - wide lens though if you have one ......

Didn't have to arrive that early last year during the September show on Sunday anyway :lol:

Thanks much Jem :thumbs:

I'm planning on going both Sat & Sun (would like to see the Hawk & the Reds - they're on separate days.

Probably a mid-morning on the Sat, but an early one is no problem for the Sunday
