Never been before, but would love to get out and get some shots. We were thinking about going on the Sat, and staying in 'The Avaitor' one of the nights (Friday or Saturday).

What would be more worth while, getting there the day before, so we can avoid queues into the area, or the night, so we can have a few beers in the day and into the evening? Is there any local evening things going on too?

Sorry mods, reserved tickets stop at 12, so thought I'd get some quick responses

Ques around Farnborough are generally not that bad. The police the th elocal roads really effectivly. My personal Pref is to go in Via M3 Junc 4a, Fleet and follow the signs there. normal wait for the last few years has been 20 - 30 minutes from leaving the motorway.

have you seen the prices?? Good luck with the Aviator...

They offered us 10 rooms for 5 nights. guess how much.... £60,000 Utter Jokers. Try 'The Village' apparently around £350 pn which is more reasonable!
