We aim to collect as much information as we can and when it is already in the Public Domain or we have source permission, we aim to share it all so anyone can access it. I have decided to stand by this policy but there are some things I need to say first. Firstly; please read<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raf.mod.uk\/rafconingsby\/newsweather\/index.cfm?storyid=EBFEC715-5056-A318-A83D1CC4E3ED481D\" target=\"_blank\"> this statement from RAF Coningsby<\/a> about turning up to view Families Day as a member of the public. Secondly; this event is for the families of personnel at RAF Coningsby, it is not a public event but rather a &#8220;Thank You&#8221; to the friends and family who support service personnel throughout the year. The RAF appreciate this event will draw interest from the public but I ask that whatever you do, <strong>please DO NOT SPOIL THINGS for the families<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With this in mind please comply with any official requests and DO NOT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Park on Double Yellow Lines, Urban Clearway&#8217;s or temporary parking restrictions (Including on the verges outside these lines)<\/li>\n<li>Park in front of Crash Gates, even if you are remaining with your vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Drop litter of feed the birds<\/li>\n<li>Access areas that are closed (In Particular the Mound)<\/li>\n<li>Stand on the Extended Centerline (Under the approaching aircraft)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Timetable\/Participants<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Pre 1230<\/strong> Arrivals<br \/>\n<strong>1230<\/strong> Displays Start<br \/>\nAutogyro<br \/>\nBAe Heritage<br \/>\nAVRO 19<br \/>\nBBMF (Lancaster\/Hurricane\/Spitfire)<br \/>\n<strong>1300-1315<\/strong> Belgian Air Force F16<br \/>\nRoyal Navy Black Cats<br \/>\nThe Blades<br \/>\nFlying Circus<br \/>\nExtreme Solo<br \/>\nRAF Falcons<br \/>\nGNAT Heritage Trust<br \/>\nReam Raven<br \/>\n<strong>1445-1455<\/strong> RAF Typhoon<br \/>\n<strong>1455<\/strong> Wildcats Display Team<br \/>\n<strong>1512<\/strong> Red Arrows Flypast<br \/>\n<strong>1700<\/strong> Departures<br \/>\n<strong>1725<\/strong> BBMF Departure (Lancaster\/Hurricane\/Spitfire)<\/p>\n<p><em>Events without times are not in any order.

This is not an official map and as such it has no authority, it just might help people view from the safer areas around the base. If you are moved on, find areas closed, find parking, find a safe area to view from that is not on the map then please send it in, the best way is to drop a pin on the location on google maps and send us a screenshot, we can then update the map with your report. The more people report in, the more accurate the map will be and the more distributed crowds are likely to be.
