On the day just act as sensibly as you have already done when spotting. We are not students.
I am sure that the JHF people would like the day to go well, even though they are being fired.
We all wish them the best.

Not lecturing C24 and you make valid point. With respect to parking on the verge, surely that is not illeagle unless it is signed as such, which I dont believe it currently is.
Sadly I posted last month expecting this response...

The real problem we face is the that event is well know in advance which means the police can plan and it will be seen as an easy target to raise money in parking fines. The base will not care what happens on the roads outside the base. Most RAF personel not flying or fixing planes will be running around, white washing stones, polishing door knobs and standing to attention, in order to please the vast number of the great and good high ranking chief of staffs who will be desending on Cottesmores for the grand p*ss up.
The real agony is that those same 'chiefs' drinking the fine wines and taking the salutes will still have a job this time next year when some of the airmen / women will not.
