UPDATE FOR VISITING THE SITE & VIEWING

At the moment the site will only be open on specific dates. (See below) This is to allow construction to continue & a car park to be built. We hope to have a car park & booking system into place in approximately the next 6 weeks to allow everyone to enjoy the Bomber at their convenience.
There is an excellent viewing point which is unrestricted & can be found at the following location using What3words - Evaporate.Captions.Informal

ENTRANCE FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE
There is ONLY ONE ENTRANCE for visiting the site. The land which the bomber sits on is privately owned, as is, the surrounding land & If you decide to push through fencing, climb gates that are closed, walk through livestock & let cattle out, you are not only trespassing but causing enormous problems & spoiling this for everyone as time & money have to then be spent in repairs & apologies made to farmers whose livelihood you have jeopardised. PLEASE PLEASE respect this & do not try to access the site through any route except the main entrance.
Please use the main entrance on Folly Lane LN6 9JN. Exact location is found using What3words
