hi,
on a family trip, 13th Feb. and passing close bye so might be able to ask for a "potty break", is the airfield open for road visitors?
stay safe, regards,
dave...

Hi
Yes the AV8 cafe and “viewing area” are open for visitors. I was there last week.
Cheers
Phil

I believe the Airfield is closed to visitors on Sundays and Mondays.

Hope I don't appear too daft here, but which airfield is this?

Dave, I don't know whether you're a photo man or not, but when I drove by last week, the Portuguese Airbuses were all parked up nose to tail adjacent to the A429 as you head north and makes for an impressive sight

hi Graham,
i do take photo's, and by the sound of it that would be impressive... and i hope whitebear as the time to read this thread for a definitive answer on the airport's access, as i've had a yea and a nea... but if i do pass then the lay-by will be an alternative. (viewing that is not a potty break!).
stay safe, regards,
dave...

Dave...13th is a Sunday thus the airfield will be closed to the visiting public and non-based flyers.
Best vantage points will be along the A429 and possibly a view across from the A433 on the Tetbury road.
It is hoped that full 7 day ops will return in March 22.
Graham tW!!
