What Happens

Once parked and everyone has been checked in, we will have a safety briefing, which once complete you are free to crack on. It is important you remain on the tarmac hard standings at all times, No walking across grass areas will be permitted for your own safety. This will be strictly enforced.


Please note that aircraft participation is subject to operational requirements, weather and serviceability of equipment.


We also reserve the right to cancel the event due to inclement weather (However this is extremely unlikely). If a cancellation due to the weather is deemed necessary, you will receive an email the evening before.

Where we have announced engine runs, please bring your own ear protection, we may have limited munbers of foam plugs we can give out but cant be guaranteed.


Please bring your own torch/head torch to help you see in the dark areas especially on grass.


We recommend the use of tripod leg lights or illuminous bands, these help grately when moving position, so as not to knock over any equipment.
