Raf Scampton

We're going to Lincolnshire next month. Is there any to see at RAF Scampton, Red Arrows wise? I expected a visitors centre but the website says by appointment only which doesn't seem very hopeful.

If we time it to co-incide with the team taking off for an air show for example, is there a viewing point?

Remember as well that RAF Scampton is only 33 miles from RAF Coningsby:

Awww thank you for good info. It looks like its tricky for the regular tourist like us to visit the home of the red arrows, but we might give it a go and find a lay-by to watch from.

Conningsby is a wonderful place to visit, standing under the nose of a Lancaster is breath-taking, I never realised high big they were.

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage at East Kirkby good day out it is 7 miles from Horncastle, it is home of Just Jane one of the last Lancasters.

Thanks for those suggestions too, although I was hoping for a glimpse of the Red Arrows or even better, a day out at a display team visitors centre and rip off the tourist experience! They are above that clearly!
