hi

Lets get the Hogs back bit out of the way first : This is the A31 Road
near Guildford with good vis you might see some of the Flying
and i say might because the display turns over the North side of the airfield so as not to infringe the crowd line . you will see nothing of the Static
To view the Static display the only real option is inside although
there are a few places on perimeter where you will see a few things
but Parking will be almost a NO GO area on foot you may be left alone
but lookout for Security checks we warned.The area suggested is on
the A325 farnborough Road from the Tech collage traffic lights past the
Swan and Fast Museum to the Bridge and main Show entrance although by
the bridge you will see very little.The spotters tend to gather at the SWAN
HOTEL Corner good landing and flyby shots can be got there and a few
things taxying about although in past years Advertising Boards have been
placed there to make things worse.There is on the Aldershot to fleet
road a turn off over the Canal eelmore bridge and this is where spotters
gather close to the 06 touchdown point parking very limited and security
checks have been made in the past caution parking on land opposite
its Army land normally no problems but in past parking resticions have
been put in place and Rigerously enforced
The A325 will have a contraflow traffic system vast areas of no parking
in side streets etc There will be carparks set up with Shuttle buses
you could park in the town center cark parks Dont forget ticket 50P hour
check Time limit of your Stay , caution charges in some apply to 2000 hours
Be cautious about parking anywhere some places charge £25 to Park and
Clampers are about plus loads of police+ Wardens
