This is where we will be for the airshow...

Zurich
Farnborough - Galaxy House
Address: Galaxy House, Southwood, Farnborough, Hants. GU14 0NJ

Huge carpark, and pretty good little hill to see things from... close enough to the action to see it... going to be there from about 11 am on Sat and Sunday

I will try & catch you Saturday but have to go to Watford so if I can it will be on the way back. Are there any security issues in getting access to Zurich's car park?

will

How good is this spot ? I usually sit by the pub at the end of the runway where they come into land directly over your head but the Zurich car park sounds tempting

Was there last time.. get a pretty good overview... You aren't right under the planes, but you get a pretty good all round view. Plus usually there ain't any body around to annoy you as well. Last time, we sat there and had lunch, and watched the entertainment. Mind you, don't know that you really want to be so close to the action, seeming what sometimes happens at these airshows.. I remember the red arrows last time being very very close..

Guys I may turn up but I managed to see some action yesterday & today and while I was checking out the Zurich viewpoint I found a spot virtually right under the flightpath in the middle of the runway, it was a huge grass roundabout right in the middle of the main road and there were about 100 other folks there with bigger & better cameras than mine, more pics on this thread:

Might pop down for an hour or two tomorrow, although I have a pretty good seat just here in my garden.

Will then bugger off down south to the Brighton meet!
