Hi all, going to the Bournemouth Air Festival this year. Anyone know any good vantage points to watch this from. Will try to get down the front somewhere between Bournemouth and Boscombe at some point during the weekend. Will be staying at my Nan's just past Christchurch, so any info for points between there and Bournemouth will be great.

Its centred on the pier so anywhere along the front or on the overcliff either side. I used to go out and watch it in my speedboat but the weather seems to be so cack every year on that day I've given up now.

I was there last summer and I wish that I had been on a boat!

anywhere between the piers.
the flightline is about 100 meters offshore and the whole display is centred on a marker mid way between each pier.

park and ride is very efficient and reasonable too.

cliff tops make an excellent tantage point to view planes that seem to come straight at you, and if you wanna go onto the beach, there's plenty of room.
