Update 4/5/2012

The Blades (F)
Vulcan XH558 (F)

They probably wont have one as they are being freighted over. Would make sense to move any ground equipment by road.

According to RIATs postings there are ten display aircraft in total and they are being stripped down and flown over by several heavy transports then reasembled over here. It doesn't say where or when though. I can only assume it would br somewhere like Brize as they would have the storage space for that many transports for a few days (They are doing Farnborough too)

I apologise if this has already been mentioned but i'm thinking of having a break from the show this year and instead do departure day. What time do planes start departing and where is the best place to go?. Also any entrance fees i have to be aware of.
Thanks for any help with this.

I assume the Park and View is what you're after, situated on the A17, open on Friday and Monday, they normally start pretty early , it costs a fiver, (I think)

Typo Beefsteak I think, it's the Lincoln end of the A15, stated opening times are 8.00am, previous years it's been open much earlier, tho' last year it wasn't open until 9.00am

[beefsteak]

I knew I should have checked a map before pressing the 'Submit' button !!....LOL

[Mayfly]

Yeah you would need a good pair of binos to see from the A17 - lol

[beefsteak]

Not if you go round this roundabout (Which we had done last Wednesday , hnse the mix up ............... )
