Odiham visit

Post by Pune » Tue Jul 21, 2020 11:02 am

Hi Guys,
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask?
Planning to venture down Odiham way this week, would there be a 'best day' for flying or is it a turn up and see place, please don't say Tuesday :Wow: .
Look forward to any info' you can share.
Cheers
Pune

You'll be lucky to get anywhere near the place now. Farmers have been all entry to fields around the airfield.

They may also be on their summer holidays? As I haven't seen a Chinook on my sbs for a week. :unsure:

On the west end I would drive up ford lane which is slightly South of the airfield ( see Google maps,)

The 2 points to the southeast of runway 28 are no longer accessible and have no place to park the car. The farmer has made sure of that.
