Hi, Could anyone suggest a couple of good places to view the airshow this coming weekend. Should I be East or West or actually in Clacton central to get some good shots. Any help gratefully received. Rob
 
Mrs OutLore and I are going, but having never been before we have no idea on good spots....

Keeping an eye on the thread though, just in case someone responds with a suggestion!!
 
Well they put the car parking signs up last night, the main car park is Clacton Airfield, but it's a hike to the seafront from there?
 
My parents used to watch the show in prior years and they told me that the best vantage point is:

to the Right of Clacton pier (looking out to sea),

Click here for a map: which is called the "West Greensward Clacton Seafront".

They used to park in the side roads, but whether that is still possible - the official 'show' car park is in West Road, but is quite a long road from memory. The Airport is ~3/4 mile from the sea front / pier. You could always ask the Tourist information office on the best location and parking - 01255 686633

Hope you have a good visit.

ps when you say this weekend - I believe the show is on Thursday & Friday only - Thursday 26th & Friday 27th August 2O1O
 
Anyone go in the end? We went - were about 1/2 mile to the right of the pier, as we didn't get there anywhere near as early as we wanted to!

Good show though.
