The first week 15 to 19 is practice and then the competition runs 20 to 27th. Movements are expected to be early morning and late afternoon, 11:00 to 15:00 is expected to be "quiet". There are no scheduled movements for practice week
Not aware of there being an entrance fee

Paid a visit here today to see what was going on,the good news is that the £3 car parking fee is payable from next Monday when the competition actually starts.Not all of the aircraft have arrived yet and those that have are mostly roaded in and then assembled apart from the Czech's who arrived together in formation (4 aircraft) and a single aircraft arrived later in company with an EV97 (G-IHOT) from Plaistows Farm. I've logged 25 and there were about 6 French and 1 Hungarian with reggies that I'm not interested in,so about 30 all together.We were told by the organaisers that another 55 aircraft are due before the end of the week.For the moment I will list only the reggies (types where known) and will put types to them later on:
