Yes, there is the WAVE - plenty of places to lock your bike at the runway threshold.
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Just thought I would bump this up - any more news - is it definitely Waddington and do we have the dates in September or is it all
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Road closures around Waddington from 15th August to 23rd September.

Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Thanks Ian
Does that imply that the Israelis will be here during those dates or will they be here just some of that period.

Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Your guess is as good as mine. Having spotted for 40 years + all I know is that they will turn up if/when they turn up.

Not too problematic, thank goodness; additional speed limits, parking restrictions and no overtaking. No road closures.

Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
You could interpret that as meaning that they're expecting a lot of people to be there and that they're imposing traffic restrictions aimed at preventing people being mown down, not keeping people away.
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
The WAVE will be open from 7am each day and the Police will be moving on/booking any vehicles parked waiting for the gates to be opened.
In addition, Lincolnshire/RAF Police have issued the following advice regarding this deployment via a leaflet. The Police will also be patrolling to enforce them.

- No standing in the undershoot for arriving and departing aircraft.
- No standing or climbing on fences
- Keep verges and access routes of the A15 clear
- No drones
- Stay within designated viewing areas.
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
Oh and.... the RAF will be charging £5 per person for entry into the WAVE and RAF personnel will be on the gates.
The WAVE is getting none of the money and has no say in the matter.

That’s absolutely ridiculous!
That’s every day I take it?
“Join the RAF! Become a car park attendant!”
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
They’re saying it’s to pay for extra toilets at the WAVE and the rest will go to the RAFBF.
The WAVE can take over 100 cars iirc so that’s atleast £1000 a day based on average 2 to a car.
Over 15 working days of the exercise - that’s £15,000. How much are these Toilets costing!!!!!

Taking the pee if you ask me!
At least they are forward planning for this so give them their due.

There's just over 140 car parking spaces at the WAVE, so work that one out!
Also, don't forget that many spaces will be used more than once each day - that's a lot of cash.
Re: Possible Israeli Air Force to Coningsby - Sept 2019
The RAF should organise some sort of refund if most people are gonna p*** their pants on first sight of the Israelis anyway. I usually do & it won't be my first time! ( for seeing or peeing! )
