Quote:FRIDAY 17 JULY - EXCLUSIVE 'PIT' ACCESS ON OUR BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY!
Friday 17 July will be the focus for our official commemorations marking the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Attendance on Friday will include exclusive 'pit' access to operational aircraft, their crews and engineers; this will not be available on Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday there will be a four hour flying display with the debut of a special mass flypast of historic aircraft. The Vintage Village will take on the 'Battle of Britain' theme and will be expanded to include additional static aircraft, re-enactors and a number of other 'Friday only' features.
Improvements for 2015 include opening the showground from 7.30am, entry from the Green Car Parks through the Green Entry Point with upgraded and additional buses dropping you at the nearest accessible point on the showground (approx. 2 minute journey), additional aircraft in the 'Pit Area', more of the showground open as well as the Viewing Village Grandstand for that bird's eye view!
Following on from the success of the Red Arrows pit area introduced in 2014 this is your only opportunity for that intimate view of aircraft that will be part of the flying display. However, there are only a limited number of tickets available, currently priced at £26, so book yours now for:
- Controlled 'Pit Area' access to historic and other aircraft representing our 'Securing the Skies - Past, Present and Future' theme - open before and after the flying display. - Four hour flying display from 11am to 3pm (pit area is closed during this time) - Debut of a special mass flypast of historic aircraft to commemorate the Battle of Britain - Full access to the East Showground from 7.30am to 6pm. Click here for the map - Aircraft arrivals and rehearsals before and after the flying display - RAF Village, Vintage Village, Techno Zone and Autodrome (NEW for 2015) open - Aviation Club, Cotswold Club and the Viewing Village Grandstand enclosures open - Frequent free showground buses (upgraded for 2015) from the Green car park and entry point directly into the showground (no additional queueing at another entry point). |
