FASM Parking and Photography

[Deleted]

Hi,

A new member of board here. Just some advice please.

I drove to FASM in my lunch hour yesterday. I had not been to EGLF on a non-show day for decades! What is parking like near FASM, I noticed the parking bays just past the open barriers with signs. Are these parking bays safe to stop at?

My intention was to capture things on approach, more practice, as I intend to get a new camera body very soon. I would stay near the car so that if somebody wanted to move me on I could be gone very quickly. I would probably only be there an hour or so at most.

Many thanks.

Don't think there are any regulations regarding that layby, its primarily used for the shops opposite, and of course the speed camera vehicles

HI

Your best bet would be to go into Alexandra Road and Find a parking Spot in one of the side roads (caution there are wardens about even at weekends)
All a bit Dodgy at moment with the ongoing Road works on the 325 . At weekends you can visit FAST museum and park in there. Also the SWAN Carpark when it Reopens after complete Refit
plod very much in evidence when i drove through this morning all getting Niggly with the road
works some very impatient people about.

Thanks for the info guys.

Probably "practice" at Blackbushe, slightly closer to where I work.

Although a quick pitstop at EGLF for jet action might also happen, alot! ;D

I believe the pub has a sign stating "Patrons Only" so could be a problem, on the other hand if FAB is using 06 then Eelmoor bridge is you best bet for landing shots.

had a walk down the Slough Estates side you can get some Landing Shots but not very good as tends to be into Sun . Security watches you all the time. At weekends place is empty Sod all else to so . Other way is Park in town carparks and walk up Dont forget to pay even at Weekends. caution here though as the car park used for access to muliti Story will soon close
for New cinema Building and any parking in FAD town center will get Difficult . The main Multi Story is also Soon to close for Revamp
