Re: Departure day
Hi,
I have read the forum comments. Does anyone have any more information?
Will I be able to get departure tickets at the gate?

BelgianF-16s did it last year after Valley family day and American F-35 A did it on the way to Farnborough on Friday so there is always a chance……..

You've not read the forum comments then, have you?
Re: Departure day
As I'm a first year FRIAT member I've decided to go into the FRIAT enclosure and experience the departures and tick off another first before the enclosure is moved to it's new location.
I have had such a good day today, relaxing on Totterdown Hill Campsite taking in the flying displays and even had chance to upload a video to my YouTube channel.
Looking forward to tomorrow

Re: Departure day
In previous years they have been checking people with vehicles at West had valid tickets if they wanted to stay with their cars.James Cutting wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 1:37 pmI don't think you would be turned away if you parked on the tarmac at the West End (09 end) if they are airborne that way. I have seen people sit there over the years to do that, and I am sure someone else on the main RIAT thread mentioned it - don't hold me to it though![]()
