I also came across reference to some mysterious field at the end of a runway ?
Looking forward very much to Yeovilton.

I hoping that I can get a front line spot of the crowd line, only booked today so I only have a normal ticket. If I have to stay there all morning then no problem, just I would like a quick look at the stalls and statics before leaving for home.

In my experience as soon as the flying is over they want you out, most of the stalls will already be packed up and gone but you might be able to manage a quick look around the static but you won't have long.

A little way back however, heading away from the hangars and statics towards the East entry/exit & Hunter car park, there is a slight rise in the ground - from here you'd get a view over the crowd and it would be a suitable place to pitch a small shelter.
