Since Covid, GA flying in UK has resumed as well as gliding and parachuting, though some airfields have retained restrictions on spectators and casual visitors by road.
Some larger air shows and events are booking-in-advance only for spectators.
Several event venues are subject to restrictions for a few days both before and after.
Some events are just for the participants and have no facilities for visitors by road.
Most airfields are now PPR for visiting aircraft. Therefore this is no longer marked individually. Flying in to ALL EVENTS should be assumed to be PPR, unless otherwise shown on the event website link.
