Hi Daniel,
Not a silly question at all.
With regards to the Airfield Tours, we had to work within the constraints of the airport and what they considered were the appropriate times to allow such tours to be conducted.
Things for consideration were organiser, security, escort and external stakeholder availability; bus availability; safety; timing of the day due airport operations, workload etc; ease of catering also...
With all those things in mind SACL proposed that the best combination would be the Friday afternoon tour / Evening gathering / Saturday morning tour.
As I also mentioned before, the official part of the Spotting Weekend leads really well into the rest of the weekend, leaving most of Saturday and Sunday open for your own plane spotting interests where you might even enjoy the company of new found friends. This will especially be convenient for those planning a long a weekend at the airport, and will also suit many interstate guests.
I hope this answers your questions and thank you for your understanding.
