RE: Duxford from the North
Mirrors…the car park system is currently in place due to the sheer volume of eager airshow goers who come to every Duxford show…visitors from the north are parked on the Officer’s Mess side of the museum so that they can be directed left out of the museum after the show (I’m sure you’ve witnessed first hand the ‘log jam’ after the show has finished as every 15000 people or more all try to go home at the same time!) Visitors who have approached from the north then only have to turn left out of the museum and then left onto the M11…everyone here at Duxford works very hard for each airshow to make sure that the system runs as smoothly as possible and that people spend as little time as possible waiting to exit the museum…
There is no such thing as a ‘plumb’ car parking position at Duxford…it’s not about where you park your car, but more about where you park yourself to watch the show 🙂
Incidentally…did you know that the Officer’s Mess side of the museum is where the original RAF living quarters where and most of the original buildings remain…this side is NOT open to the public, so airshow days are the only chance you will get to glimpse these buildings…a piece of real, living history…I work on this side of the museum in these buildings and love every minute of it 🙂
