We camp every year on one of the official sites.
The convenience is great, cos traffic in and out of the site on show days is a nightmare.
Added advantages:
– grab a beer and a couple of camping chairs and sit by the side of the road at the end of the day. I reckon every other classic leaving the site gives you a honk or a cheery wave. Epitomises the friendly atmosphere of the event and rounds off a great day (my young lad loves this too)
– you can enjoy the early morning/late afternoon flypasts, from the comfort of your tent. Last year we sat outside our tent late on the Satruday, watching the 2 Lancasters doing cicuits overhead, with various Spitfires and Hurricanes. That was worth £65 of my money any day!
EDIT: sorry, I’m talking about the Revival. As you were!
