Got my tickets today, it looks like a decent line up, including the Canadian Lancaster. Good choice for your first show in years!

We're going on the Sunday, was going to go to the Dawlish show on Saturday, but the line up looks better at Dunsfold. Really looking forward to it smile

the "wheels" bit of the website doesnt give much away so really just looking through the wings side of things.

fingers crossed for good weather.

Bought my ticket ages ago.... flying back from Dubai for it as it offers my first ever chance to see 558 in action.

Can't wait, going on the Sunday.

Anyone know of a good spot outside the fence? I only want to see the Vulcan, don't really want to spend most of the day in the show though.

If you can stop on the A281, you'll be right under the display line, stopped there a few times and got some good pictures. In fact I'll try and stop there on Sunday on my way to work.

Looking forward to this, am going tomorrow.

Which gate is the best, Green or Blue?
How bad are the queues in and out likely to be?

Thanks.

I'm off tomorrow. Just purchased a used Canon 75-300 lens to replace my Tamron. Much excited.

Doesn't mention prices on the site. Anyone know what they are as I might take my two boys tomorrow. Ta.

Gutted, set off nice and early and were defeated by the M25. Gave up and came home having a nice drive through London.

Just sheer amounts of non moving traffic. It really has to be the worst road in the country, I normally never go near it but thought I'd give it a go, but it was just gridlocked. frown

You were just unlucky, I went through the M40-A3 section once at 8AM with no hold up at all and again at 6PM with lots of traffic but all doing 40-50.

Dunsfold have just tweeted that today is niw a sell out and only advanced tickets will be admitted.

I'm glad we went yesterday then! It was a superb day out.
