Viewing at weekend
Hi guys can I ask if I was to visit weekend would I see any of the visiting aircraft or are they in the hangars thanks Raptor22
Re: Viewing at weekend
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.

Re: Viewing at weekend
T1, are the Israelis photographable from the crash gate please?

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

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