Well going by what you posted here viewtopic.php?f=334&t=82473 and the above post , people will just put 2 and 2 together and come up with " Vulcan " . If you can't say what it is , what's the point of posting anything ?

Yea, I'm going to have a moan now so brace yourselves:

1) Every year they get stroppy with you in the PAVE as they want you all out by 5pm. Going by past years this tends to be the time when all display practices start and arrivals heat up, especially if the weather has been bad and lifted. But they want you out (I've even been told the gate close at 5.30 you better be out or they will be locked, to which I couldn't resist replying "I'm fine to stop the night")
2) They stipulate the WAVE has to be closed on the days the PAVE is open instead of at the "Times" its open (except Monday TBC) and
3) There are cones on every road for miles making it an offence to park up.

They really like to make it difficult! (and like the other year they will change the time the gates open in the morning and call Lincolnshire Police and moan about people queuing)

Don't know how many people feel the same on here? (I would imagine I'm not alone, but now I've opened my mouth I might get shot down)

Anyway, I've said my bit and now I will stop moaning.

That's a little unfair on the RAF /RN personnel, we all want to see all the arrivals but in the case of Friday's arrivals you have to remember once all of us spotters have gone. They and the ATC etc have to clean up and get everything ready for the main event and then probably be back on duty 6 or 7am.. They have to draw the line at some point.
