I think only a few are outside so if the weather is dodgy I'll be fine inside.

Thanks for the info.
The great majority are inside. Even the SR-71 is inside. Particularly the older ones are inside. Although when I was there they had a few of the WWII vintage planes outside preparing to fly in an air show. On another occasion I was staying nearby and heard a loud buzzing sound outside. I looked out my window and it was a pair of Spitfires flying by preparing for an air show. It was quite a treat to see them in the air over the English countryside. A few minutes later a thundering noise came by and it was two F-111s flying low. They were very loud.
