Enthusiasts have the chance to drive onto the airfield and use one of the private enclosures situated on the Flight Line to view aircraft arrivals and display practices on the 22nd June.
Enthusiasts must remain in the enclosure till early evening, when arrivals and display practices have been completed, for safety reasons. We envisage that this will be between 1830 and 1900 but ask that you are accommodating should times overrun. Air Day personnel will then direct you to the static aircraft areas (not including the Commando Helicopter line), which will be open until 2030.
Toilet and refreshment facilities are available.
Joint Photocall and Air Day packages are also available at a discounted rate if booked in advance.
