This will be my first time at East Kirkby. I won't be arriving 'til about 10am so i'm guessing a decent spot is out of the question - any other tips from seasoned Kirkbyers?

The display datum will be in line with the purple tent on the flight line. The display line is relatively small so displays are flown quite tight. The Lancaster and Mosquito will be parked together so when they taxy together the best place for photos, I would guess, would be where they once were. The photo op at the end of the show will also be in that same area. The crowd/viewing area faces south east so by the time the displays start the sun is above you and heading behind.

Just be prepared for the smell. There's a couple of chicken farms locally which are a tad fragrant...
