Looking around the Exhibition Halls is something that I'd like to do, so I'll go on the Friday. Would it be worth going for the runway enclosure ticket or just the standard ticket?
It depends on what you want to do. My favourite part of the show is walking around the static display and talking to the people who are "manning the aeroplanes" and answering questionsfrom the public. I always enjoy a chat with these people. Last time I was invited to wander around inside a Percival Pembroke.Eric Mc said:
Hope it doesn't melt the runway like the Yak 141 did in 1992.
Thanks, I was trying to remember what year I probably damaged my hearing - that was it! I was in the old press photographer enclosure right by the flight line and the flippin' noisy thing sat on re-heat right in front of me(I gave up filming as it was so painful - no ear defenders in those days...)If you know the right people, you can sometimes be admitted as a "guest". I've been lucky enough to avail of that over the years.
Other times, I've had to make do with a public day.
As I said previously, Friday is still technically a trade day but it is also open to the public - although you do need to buy the ticket in advance.

Hopefully, you should be able to visit the exhibition halls. They are well worth a visit. I always enjoy chatting to the people who man the stands as they always seem very enthusiastic and happy to discuss what they are doing - whether it be designing 747 water bombers or building single stage to orbit space planes.
