RAF MILDENHALL, England --  RAF Mildenhall Officers' and Civilians' Spouses' Club will host the Mayfair Bazaar April 20 through 22 in Hangars 711, 772, 774 and 775 here.

The bazaar hours of operation are April 20, 2 to 7 p.m.; April 21, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and April 22 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The bazaar is an annual event that brings vendors here from around the U.K. It will also have carnival rides and new for this year, aircraft static displays to Airmen and their families.

Static displays will include a KC-135 Stratotanker, an F-15E Strike Eagle, a Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 and a HH-60G Pave Hawk.

The parking plan for this year's bazaar is different from past bazaars, due to the static displays.

General parking will be offered on Taxiway B adjacent to Building 712.

"The entrance to the general parking lot will be located between the two 'Stop' signs on Perimeter Road where traffic has to stop (to look) for taxiing aircraft," said Capt. Kevin Summers, 100th Security Forces Squadron operations officer.

Summers said Airmen and their families can access the base through Gate 11 (West Row Gate). Attendees also may use the main gate.

"I highly encourage the base populace to utilize the main gate if at all possible, since there will be a large influx of traffic due to vendors," said Summers. "We typically see traffic backed up in the mornings during the bazaars."

Outbound traffic will be guided behind Hangars 711, 772, 774 and 775, across Taxiway B to Gate 11.
