Nick, it's best to get to OW as early as you can so that you can have a good nose around the hangars and book yourself on a flightline tour before the show. For £4 you'll get about half an hour to wander along the flightline with a guide and this will get you closer to the planes than any other show that I can think of.

We often get some really good light at evening shows and the photographic opportunities can be absolutely stunning. The crowdline's very close to the action and there are spots that can give you an unimpeded view of the take-offs and landings for some very nice slow shutter work.
