Its one of the few things that gets cheaper if you have kids, as they are free....so as a family activity it makes it a bit cheaper in a way.
We decided before Christmas we were going so got the earliest, cheapest tickets.
We camp in Fairford so not too far to drive in.

On the site on the way to Durnford? Road to Durnford runs along the south perimeter fence of the airbase...campsite on the left of the road...its one of the official sites I think...

Camping is the only way really if your staying over....unless you don't care how much it costs....as everyone puts up their prices on RIAT weekend...ie Swindon TC hotels usually double their room rate...I know the TC Holiday Inn put its room rate up from £80/night to £150/night over the weekend.
Our prices are about £15 for a trip from Swindon to Fairford....they went up to £50......

No, we use another site about 2 miles away. Everyone round there must earn a good wage that weekend.
Of course if you have one of the really local sites....you dont need a ticket as can watch from the site

Great set of pictures.

Just a shame the weather didn't play ball and give you a blue sky backdrop.
