Farnborough town 12days to the show

2008-07-02T14:54:00.002+01:00

Looking around Farnborough you would be pushed
to see any mention of the Airshow in 12 days time
when the eyes of the world are on the Airfield.
Possibly the Road signs and no parking signs
are the only things and one or two bookshops
might have the Odd book or two on show
that's about all there ever is . No Flags banners
nothing in this Very Dull Town to Welcome
thousands of visitors its as though people
don't really care .

Russian Visitor

2008-07-02T12:17:00.002+01:00

All around the Airfield police signs are going up giving
notice of NO Parking and Tow away zones . if you
must bring a car into farnborough to see the arrivals
after the 7th I suggest using the town carparks and
walk up the a325 . Dont forget to put a Ticket on
the windscreen even at weekends you must pay
big charge if you dont or run out of time.

How ATC Plans the show contol

2008-06-19T19:25:00.002+01:00

This information outlines the Show Air Traffic Control :

-------------------------------------------------------

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will establish temporary restricted airspace around Farnborough between 7 to 21 July during this year’s International Air Display.

Details of the Restricted Airspace (Temporary) - RA(T) - are provided in Aeronautical Information Circular 35/2008 (Mauve 259) ‘Restriction of Flying Regulations - Farnborough 7-21 July 2008’. In addition, two AIP Supplements (S 17/2008 and 18/2008) describing general arrangements for the display and for helicopter operations during the period are available online through The Ais at http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/index.php.html

Details of airspace restrictions feature on the daily Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) freephone telephone service (0500 354802) and are included in Preflight Information Bulletins (PIB), also available from the AIS website.

Peter Marks from the CAA’s Directorate of Airspace Policy said: “The Farnborough airspace restriction is put in place to provide a secure environment for the display aircraft, which range from airliners to the Red Arrows, and its size is kept to the absolute minimum that will accommodate their display routines.

“Any infringement of the restricted airspace would, at best, cause the cancellation of a particular part of the show so all pilots will need to ensure they are fully and properly briefed before flying.”

Travel in Style

2008-06-13T19:19:00.002+01:00

Not Normally heard about at show time is
how the Executives travel well read this below
seen on a trade magazine

"Blue chip aerospace companies looking for a quick and stress-free way of getting in and out of Farnborough Airshow next month can book a helicopter from the London Heliport in Battersea with PremiAir, the UK’s largest executive helicopter operating and charter company.

The 60th Farnborough Airshow, the industry’s second largest worldwide aviation gathering, will take place between July 14th and 20th, attracting up to 300,000 visitors over the course of the week.

PremiAir’s return shuttle trips will be operated by Eurocopter AS355 Twin Squirrel and Sikorsky 76 VIP helicopters, with executive seating for four passengers. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes each way from London Battersea, with day return fares starting from just £775 per person in an AS355 Twin Squirrel, including all landing fees."

Coming into Farnborough

2008-05-26T14:10:00.001+01:00

Visitors to the Airshow coming into Farnborough on the A325.

The Big Glass building "CONCEPT 2000" Has been demolished

and Blocks of flats and Houses going up. Looking down Victoria

rd you will see loads of hoardings hiding the fact that most of the

Town centre is a big building Site with only the Southern part still

open KINGS MEAD and PRINCES MEAD +The remaning Part of

Queensmead. One piece od Bad news is that the hotel and Pub

"TUMBLEDOWN DICK" Is closed with a very Uncertain Future.

As you progress along the A325 over to your right you will see

the area where the Buses pick up and set down by the car park

Building will soon Start here on a" MULTIPLEX CINEMA "complex

Getting closer to the field by the Collage is where there has

been Major changes to the Road layouts to allow Entry into

the old "RAE" Factory site with a mixture of Shops , offices

Homes and preserved buildings , Next on the right is the

Famous Airshow pictured Pub " The Swan Hotel" recently

Refurbished then next building is the "FAST" Museum loads

of Exhibits from Farnborough past FREE entry .

Then we come to a new Hotel for "TAG AVIATION" Should be

open in July 2008 . This then brings you to the Entrance

For the Show well we think it is still to be used but its

part of the Hotel parking Area so we wait to see if still used.
