Hi Raptor22

I went the first weekend they arrived and saw everything bar one GAF EF2000 that was hangared in the green building on their line.

The Israeli F15s are parked down at the Runway 02 Harmston end... all very visable from the A607... you can also see them from the crash gate but you cannot drive down there... you can walk down but security will come and check you out.

The Germans are parked over near the tower... they are all visable but there is a small green building that obscures two of the jets so you will need to park in the wave centre and then walk south along the A15 and keep checking Inbetween the trees.

The Italians are parked opposite the Helimed pad behind a wall and all tails are visable but again if you walk far enough South along the A15 and keep checking across though the trees and gaps you will see them.

More info if you look throught the threads on this page and in the Waddington Section.

Hope this helps.

Yes through the wire, security isn’t happy if you try and go right at the gate, left is OK.

Hi Raptor22

I am very pleased you guys had a great time and got what you needed... I thank you very much for your knid words but cannot take all the credit... as you say... thanks to everyone else who have posted info.

It is after all, everyones ones help with posts of info, advise and help that as enabled guys like you and I to have all the info we needed in order to have a great day out.

I had a great day when I was there on the 9th...sadly I picked the raining day but thanks to all the guys on FC... I had all the info I needed... location of jets, flying times... frequencies etc... to ensure a great day out was had.

I must say also... the guys at the WAVE did a fantastic job from parking directions and advice to the guys in the cafe... the coffee and bacon butty's kept us going. :thumb:

Thanks to everyone for their help and contributions :thumb:

Regards.

PS... Raptor22... Be nice to see some of your photos from down the lane.

Just to elaborate on the info from Tiger, is the lane you are all talking about, the "naughty lane" with extra night time activities? :Oops:
I'm travelling up on the Thursday morning, hoping that the Israeli F-15s are still there :S
