The Fire Station

This spot offers unbeleivably great views of the whole airfield. From the raised ground, you can see everything happening: landings, take-offs and taxying aircraft but, alot of zoom is required for photography and there are some rather large natural obstructions around which restrict your view of the last half of 23L/05R (Runway 2).

Directions

From the Moat House hotel, cross the A538 and head to the roundabout by the road tunnels. On the other side of the road, there is a footpath with steep steps leading up a hill. Follow this path for a few minutes until you see a mound on the left with a radar antenna on the top. Threre is a small track up the mound on the left.

  1. View The Radar tower atop the mound.
  2. View A PIA 777 thundering down Runway 23L.
  3. View The main airport area buildings from The Fire Station.
