A "great" arrival? :oh:

Excuse the thread drift, but can any of you who have been to RIAT at Fairford give me any info on car parking, or lack thereof?
Haven't been to a RIAT since they were at Greenham, but thinking of going next year.

Parking at RIAT this year was no problem what so ever. Almost no real traffic problems arriving or leaving.
It's a bit more of a walk compared to the days when you parked on the base but very well organised. :)

The exact opposite to the Red Bull Air Farce at Longleat :mad: .

I'll go with EnginEars on this one. It took me about 3/4 hour to get to the car park from when I joined the end of the queue and it took me about 1/2 hour from when I left the car park to when I got onto the M4. No problems at all.

They re-organised the routes 3 or 4 years ago and got a professional traffic management outfit to sort out the traffic and it has worked like a charm. I think the days of sitting in a traffic jam for 4-5 hours are over.:D

MDLB:ok:

I sat in the green car park from 17:30 till 18:45 without moving an inch. It was only after some serious cross-country that I finally managed to get out of the show at 19:45. I won't be going back, and that's from someone who has been attending IAT since Greenham days.

O.K., thanks for the info, guys.

I've never had any problems getting there or leaving. I guess it depends on if you leave with everyone else of if you stay that extra hour looking at some of the static stuff before going back to the car.

It is a great show and I'll be there next year, regardless of the traffic!!
