Last time I was there, I got chatting to a lady photographer near the western threshold and she told the best place for landing from the east. If you go under the south terminal on the A23 you come to a roundabout after you pass the runway end, the crematorium is signposted to the left. Go left and go right at the next roundabout. There is parking on the right in this road and a snack bar on the left for refreshments. I stayed with the car as there were heavy showers about so my pics are not as good as they could be but if you retraced your steps, you could get a lot closer to the approach. I always have a collapsible chair in the car and if I the weather had been better, I would have got much closer.

Hi Keith,  I usually work from the car as i have the sbs kit etc,

Can you see them from the car park side of the road or do you need you need to walk down the road for a visual ..?

Cheers,

Martin

I parked on the other side of the road from the snack bar and you could see all arrivals without getting out of the car. If you get out and walk a few yards down the road, you see departures lifting off.
