Does anyone have any info regardng timings tomorrow at Brize, please? I know it's a private event, but say someone wanted to stand at the end of the runway, does anyone know what sort of time that person might need to get there?

Cheers!

Hi Wizzy

I was at Brize today and someone said families day kicks off around 11am and she'll be displaying around 3. Could change so much by tomorrow tho!!! We certainly learned that the last couple of days!! I think i'm going to head there around midday.
