Bumped back to the top, shame we clash with the Wiltshire Fly In, at least gives people a bit of choice, or a round trip ;)

Yeah I found that website but couldn't actually see anything to do with Halfpenny Green on there.

Where is the racing actually taking place?

The autotest is taking place on the old market area, behind the public carpark, a short stroll from the control tower.

One of the test areas has been laid out so that it sits right behind the carpark offering some good viewing opportunities.

Although this isnt a full blown wings and wheels event, Im told this morning that there may be some ex military vehicles in attendance also.
