I should add the invite also says there is a drinks reception on arrival followed by a hog roast for lunch and afternoon tea later in the afternoon - so a chance to dull the senses before trying to see the display from outside the airfield boundary!
Roughly where the old RAE 'North Gate' was and just west of where the 'Assembly Hall' (staff dining rooms) was (where the Atlantique crashed in '68).
Just north of final approach for runway 24 and off the airfield, so although you'll get a good view of aircraft landing, you won't see too much of the actual display flying.
