Did you never read about our own Area 51 at Machrihanish with the secret squadrons? It's got a British (derived) engine anyway.
I am not a photographer so am not interested in making a claim for a piece of the fence but can anyone recommend somewhere to head for that doesn't lend itself to photography so I am not going to get in the way of any viewfinders but still be able to soak up the atmosphere, breathe in the fumes etc?

Also does anyone know what time the display starts? I know it's normally around 2 but haven't some of the shows this year been starting earlier around 1pm? As I said I don't need to get there super early to bag a good spot and I've done the museum plenty of times so it would be fine for us to get there a couple of hours before the show itself starts.
I know these sorts of questions get asked by idiots like me every year and i did try to research previous posts beforehand to no avail so any advice gratefully received.

I did think about using the P&R but figured that as I was coming up from the south and the P&R was further up the M11 I would probably be sat in traffic trying to get off at the actual Duxford junction so it maybe counter productive and then vice versa when I was trying to get home again, I might get back to the car quicker but then I would be sat on the M11 southbound as everybody was coming out of Duxford and joining the M11 at junction 10, or do they have a pretty good filter system on the M11 to keep everyone moving past the Duxford junction?
Not to worry too much as I have booked our tickets anyway so we are comitted. Just hoping for decent weather now.

Very true, should have clarified. We'll be coming up from the south east so M11 would be the normal route in.
22 & 23 September. Last tickets remaining. Book now.

I think the normal routine is for the Spitfires to do one mass fly past and then split into two groups, north and south of the runway respectively, tail-chasing.

I was told last week that since making the RAF participation announcement, ticket sales soared and they are getting close to a sell out.
