Went Friday by car, followed our own route in, initially on the Brown route, then jumped over to Green. Straight in @ 07:30, straight out @ 18:00. Never seen it so easy, and crowds significantly lower than any Sat or Sun that I've ever been to. Bit of a bummer about the Flypast being cancelled, but with thunderstorms rumbling away to the south it wasn't surprising. Shame - my last F-35 was one of the two that launched from Marham.

Saturday got a B2, but a duff one. More annoyingly I think my last LN F-15E was one of the two escorts.
