this should be a spectacular sight and probably never to be repeated!
i bought my ticket for the 5th some time ago and now wondering if I should get one for 4th as well!
I was planning on going off-airfield on 4th to get different angles and with the sun better placed but wondering what access and traffic will be like? It's not a formal airshow so I assume Grange Road will be open for one possibility but the normal option of the school presumably won't be available because it will be a weekday.
I still want to be off the airfield really for the 4th so anybody willing to share ideas of suitable locations please?
and one other thought - the mass parachute practice jump is on the 4th but will it be over Duxford with it's proximity to the M.11? I wonder if they might use another nearby airfield for the practice jump because of safety concerns (Fowlmere maybe?) - thoughts anyone?
