Heard back. It would be possible to enter the parking at 5AM. Not something we'd encourage widely but you can park up already and get some extra sleep, wake up at 7 or so and proceed slowly to the entrance to be first at the security check. Bear in mind there's no enormous rush like at RIAT to get to the first row for take-offs and landings as we will hardly have any. When it opens at 8, it is always a relaxed affair. The rush to get out in the evening, that's an entirely different matter.
Thanks very much for your help on this. I hadn't considered the fact there's no rush in the morning but will be good to get just a couple hours sleep as I'm driving back after the show. From what your saying I'm assuming getting away can be a nightmare?
If you are planning to head for Calais/Dunkirk on the Sunday, best advice is to book a crossing well after 9pm (European Time) if you plan to stay to the very end of the show on Sunday. It does take time to negiotate the car parks/roadworks (Ham has been a buiding site for the last two/three years)/other local events (at least one local village always has its own festival on Sanicole weekend which causes further diversions) and the routes to the motorways.

Thanks for that. I have a 22.30 European time train to get on so hopefully will make it!!!
blimming heck, there isn't much on the military circuit that this civvy show hasn't managed to pull. Very well done to the organisers. The flying display is going to be a marathon!
Completing the pyro line-up for the Sanicole Sunset Airshow on Friday is GliderFX. [fb-post]https://www.facebook.com/sanicoleairshow/posts/1322767537814699:0[/fb-post]
Over the past weeks, we announced 41 participants for our 40th anniversary airshow. We hope you like the programme for our International Sanicole Anniversary edition. There will probably be a few more announcements over the next weeks completing our line-up. We look forward to welcoming you in September! This weekend, the website will be updated with information about the acts for the Sunset Airshow and the Sunday full show.
We round off this series of announcements with the contribution of the Italian air force, the Frecce Tricolori making a welcome return. (Sunday)

Sorry, I'm afraid not. There will be a feature length report online and on DVD afterwards, but details about that will be released at the end of August.

If you go to the book in tab at the bottom of the first page it takes you to an English version - great idea.
