Knettishall is a disused WW2 airfield and an ideal F3A site courtesy of the Bury MFC.  The take off and landing area is tarmac and of a good size.  Knettishall is approximately 12 miles to the NE of Bury St Edmunds.

If you click on this link it will bring up the airfield on Google Maps.

Please note the route in which is essentially on the western side of the airfield and using the perimeter track to get around to the pits area.  Please see the attached PDF that has 3 views that give a number of key directions. 

I have included the Lat Long and the What3Words descriptions of the key points.

At the correct entrance to the airfield, you see the UKF3A Signpost.  The Gate will be unlocked from soon after 7 am. 

If you get lost, please call me on 07725-314 950.

DO NOT USE A POST CODE - YOU MAY BE TAKEN TO THE WRONG ENTRY GATE!

There will be the usual catering service to provide hot and cold drinks and snacks all day starting with egg and bacon baps at 08:30 and a BBQ for lunch at £5 per head.  I will collect the money on the day.  Please let me know if you will not be partaking of this service by posting on this thread.

If you prepared to judge, please let me know as soon as possible.  This could be either as a pilot judge or pure judge.  Normal fees for judging will be paid for non-flying judges.
