If the weather is good ill head down on the saturday. The sunday with the vulcan is tempting but to many things on that day.

I'll be there! I cannot wait, haven't had an airshow since RIAT and that's too long for me!!

Anyone know about parking?

I thought as much. Do you know any 'secret' spots offering parking spaces anywhere?

You can park in Southbourne and take a stroll down the beach through Boscombe

That's a loooooong walk, which I could manage, not sure about my folks though!

[SkySailing]

I think our best bet might be the park and ride services.

Going on the Sunday. Hopefully the weather is good as it will be my last chance to see the Vulcan. We always go very early and walk from near Durley Chine where there is free parking and cook breakfast on the beach. Last year we were interviewed for Radio Solent as we were eating a plate of bacon, sausage and egg at 9am.

Traveling down Saturday and staying over night at the Langtry Manor. We'll arrive and park up at the hotel by mid-morning on the Saturday and not head back until the Vulcan has flown on Sunday. This will be my last chance to see her fly too. Hoping for some decent weather. Photography was tough last year with the haze.

This is probably the best bet, as they reduce on street parking between Boscombe & Bournemouth too, any where near the the cliff top.

Saturday is always considered the busiest day.

[Zeds]

I live there

[Dr Jekyll]

Is motorbike parking any easier?

[SkySailing]

Got a parking spot from park on my drive

[SkySailing]

Does anyone know where I need to go to be able to watch the show from higher up?

The cliff top?

The show is centered on the East cliff lift, between Bournemouth and Boscombe piers.

I've never been to Bournemouth so forgive me but does the cliff go down to the beach between those spots or is it flatter there?

[Sir Bagalot]

Anyone else think the organisers are playing a game of cat and mouse regarding the Vulcan flying on Saturday?

I was going to say no Miss Demeanour..... transpires owner has it up for sale

I'm there this year for the whole event

This is where Google Maps and Streetview is your friend

Knowledge from people who have been there before is more valuable than google maps
