Car parking and viewing at Waddington.

[James Cutting]

Is there generally quite a lot of space along the grass verge? I understand the hedge has been trimmed, but would you still need a small step ladder possibly? Thanks

[65thAgressor]

A two step ladder is all thats needed.

[James Cutting]

Thanks very much

Could anyone confirm that the overspill parking adjacent to the wave is open this week, thanks.

[Mike]

Yes, the overspill is open.

[midlander]

Thanks Mike

The Belgians can be seen from the A607 on the west of the base.
They can be seen better by parking in the layby on tower lane, then walking down to crash gate 5.

The Mirages can be seen from the A15, south of the WAVE.

thanks mate ill give it a go next visit...cheers

planning my first trip to Waddington for next Tuesday, can anyone just answer a quick question, I have been told to get there early and wait in the overflow carpark until the main car park opens then move to that but looking goggle maps i am unable to work out which the over flow car park is, so I was stood out on the road looking into the main car park would the over flow be on the left or the right.
Thanks in advance

[Mike]

The overspill carpark is the first entrance to the South of the WAVE carpark on the same side of the road on the A15, it has a red sign at the entrance that says 'Emergency services training centre' (or similar).

If you look on Google maps it's directly to the right of the main car park. There's two rough patches that look like big sperm and a little sperm swimming in opposite directions. The road is marked up as Hem Wy.

Looking like RWY02 tomorrow and has been today, are they relatively low by the WAVE or are they up like rocket ships?! Thanks.

[Discodaz]

I'm assuming they will taxi back down to the wave end on return if using 02 .

Think they did on arrivals mate, and seeing an instagram 'story' this morning they did

[smudger]

Do we know if the car park has been opening bang on half 7 or they been opening the gates earlier? Cheers

[James Cutting]

Seems everyone in this post who's asked has said 7.30. Think the overspill can be used till they open.
