Have many people been there? I know a few have like Adam and Matt G. If you haven't and you like planes, then this is the place for plane spotting tbh. You get a good view of the movements, I go about 4/5 tmes a year as I don't have that much time.

Here are a few pics from last time I went and what you get to see there!

A British airways Embraer 145 miliseconds for touchdown on runway 06R

Emirates Boeing 777 finally gets away on its usually 14:35 service to Dubai.

Monarch have a rep for not doing the best of landings.

I've never been spotting or to an airport for the sole purpose of taking pictures, I guess I should sometime though.

Great pics :)
