[shadytree]

Anyone going tomorrow ?

[tiga84]

Yup, I'll be there, Mrs Tiga lives in Biggin Hill so I shall be taking a stroll up there. Gutted that I couldn't get tickets from the local newsagent, they sold out yesterday, so I'll have to ge the sodding things on the door.

[john_p]

brings a tear to the eye

I might go if I can find a way of getting there, any train stations near the airfield?

[dougc]

I'll be there Sunday. Look out for 2 big blokes trying to unfold themselves from the Piper PA22 Caribbean on the static display

[cotty]

Nope, going to a meet in the afternoon so need to wash and clean the car, but im so close I see a lot of it anyway

Woldingham is the nearest. The bain of Biggin Hill, the worst train links ever.

Orpington is nearest from London, about £12-15 in a black cab outside.

No, tomorrow I shall mostly be at the Shoreham Air Show.

[john_p]

Was planning to go down by train to avoid the inevitable queues, they are laying on buses from West/East Croydon, will those be near enough? Or best avoided?

[NiceCupOfTea]

I think they usually lay on buses from Bromley South, which is closer. I'll be there on Sunday.

What sort of time should I get there? What's parking like? I assume the traffic will be awful...

More comfortable to sit in a grandstand.....

I live in Bromley - so we get a pretty good view fron my back garden.

It scares the crap out of the cat

We have our meet on Sunday & then on to The Woodman so we should have it going on all around us - but beware - the traffic around BH is a nightmare.

Oh just one!

[bmgm3]

I was wondering why 3 Spitfires and a Hurricane went over Dartford today. That would explain it

[towman]

How bad is the traffic likely to be? I have to be at the F1 depot by the airport at 10:30.
