Aircraft Arrivals

Post by **Ontheflightpath** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 11:33 pm

RAF Fairford: Either on Sunday 29th or Monday 30th June there will be arrivals of US aircraft, (they are not sure which date). Site 15 open as a car park and Gate 7 open for pedestrians to view the aircraft on the Kempsford to Whelford Road. Openings will co-incide with aircraft arrivals. Police will be on duty. Free parking but times are not known at present. Sounds as if it's on a first come first served basis. That is all the info at the moment.

Update : It is the F35s arriving for RIAT (Here for three weeks)

The above info was issued by RAF Fairford on Friday (locally). I put it on here to give you a chance to get organised to come and see it.

Enjoy

It is the 4 USMC F35s, the show must be getting close now.

Many thanks

Google Earth, Google Man Fairford.
A quick look down the road at the end of 27 shows gate 7.
Same entrance used for park and view East

Has anyone actually had any official clarification that these gates will be open?

Is there any solid information on whether there will be any arrivals tomorrow?

Cheers,

Rumours on twitter indicating that a support aircraft may arrive tomorrow, with the f35s arriving on Monday. Not long now!

But are the arrangements for the car park and gate being open still the same for Monday?
