for those not attending the actual show here are some links to great local vantage points for watching the air displays

Top of the trundle
miles away from the action but you will see a lot of the planes as they loop back around
also a known location for the vulcan if it arrives early it goes into a holding flight circle

MAP LINK

A27 west fly over( busy and not ideal)

MAP LINK

madgwick corner (goodwood race circuit)
good views from here either in the field adjacent or further down the road

MAP LINK

Homebase chichester
you will see people lining the road here most days
although this is part of the display for red arrows flight path its not the best view of them displaying

MAP LINK

Rolls Royce factory / westhampnett ( my prefered location)
park at location at the center of the bottom of this map and walk along public foot path down side of rolls royce factory towards the green triangle shape on map

I have been unable to find out which planes are flying but judging by todays practice flights, there will be spitfires, and mustangs and the harvard among others, rumors are rife on the internet that lord march was the mysterious donor to the Vulcan to the skies project and that it will be making an unannouced flight though it is not listed on the vulcan website and the red arrows are listed as being in Newcastle.

As per the festival of speed, i shall be putting a few teaser pics up before i do a gallery, with the camera fixed hopefully the pictures should be a lot better then the festival ones!

Saturday 3rd July: Red Arrows 11:30am

Sunday 4th July: Red Arrows 11:30am
Vulcan Bomber 1pm
Watch for free from here amazing view as if you were there! Location Free parking too!

A picture from today! same location

The vulcan bomber is due to fly at the RAF Waddington air show 3rd and 4th July and no official announcement has been made as the weather or not the plane is display ready.

other flights includes the navy black cat helicopters 2pm each day and a fighter jet called a hunter, but most people will only be interested in the arrows and the bomber, for info you can call the ticket office on 01243 755055 tickets still on sale

I will back on saturday to take shots of the racing, rally stage and the red arrows display and maybe some F1 cars.
