Hello. I will visit the UK next week and planning a visit to Fairford. Can anyone tell me if I can watch B52's over there?

Assuming the Buffs would still be there, spot 2 on the airfield map is a good starting point. Also, take the Public Bridleway starting opposite the church in Marson Meysey. DO take your wellington boots as the path will be muddy. So, yes, you can obviously 'see them from the ground'.
Have fun.

@ CJ. Thank you for your reply. So I can even see them from the ground? I am looking forward to my trip. First I have to work 4 days on another airport (AMS) before my trip.
