if the key locations have any sense they will open fields for parking at those locations. Hopefully that is why details are delayed whilst arrangements are made.
Ive been doing a bit of digging in the South West. I've heard back from Cardiff and Bristol Airport, no plans and have just said normal viewing points, which is barely more than two country lanes for Bristol.Gloucestershire Airport are arranging dedicated parking/viewing, not heard from Old Sarum yet.
The commercial airport waypoints are baffling to me, some of the least accessible / inconvenient private places in the country for large numbers to gather at. Would large public parks not have been a viable option given these are just fly pasts? The Red Arrows managed that for Armed Forces Day a few years ago.

South West has been ignored as well I see. Seems a shame.
Looks like it's Bicester for me, but I bet it'll be a nightmare getting anywhere near the airfield.
Same here - but I wouldn't head to the airfield cos you won't see much (trees/houses will block view) - I'll be sat on Brill hill which has a great panoramic view of Bicester and the turning point marked on the map.Looks like it's Bicester for me, but I bet it'll be a nightmare getting anywhere near the airfield.

What would be the flying time from Bicester to Popham?if more than 90 mins i fancy a trip along the A34 for two viewings
They are supposed to be putting timings up on the maps, but I reckon it might just be possible looking at the distance '558 will be covering out west.aeropilot said:

The VTTS website says with ‘other flights to be announced.’
This may be a way of reducing the final landing excitement, or,,,,,,, there may be other flights?
Does anyone have any facts or hearsay on flights after this weekend?
They've mentioned 'at least two' flights after these on a number of occassions.This may be a way of reducing the final landing excitement, or,,,,,,, there may be other flights?

As a Brill resident I think you'll see nothing from Brill Hill. You'll need to be on Muswell Hill looking down towards Bicester to see her pass below you over Paddington before turning north. That maybe what you meant but would hate to see you miss out. Gutted as we are away this weekend.V41LEY said:
