Yes there's usually quite a bit to be seen at Cranwell and Coningsby. But I don't need anything at Cranwell- the 4 Tutors I need are all over the place!
I needed 4 of the Typhoons which were ex-Leuchars based.

Hi ZZ,
Great shots mate, really nice. Were you inside or outside the airfield(s) when taking the photos? I've never been to either place and on this evidence, will make a plan to go...
Cheers ZZ.

I love going to both of these bases. If you can go midweek there's usually a lot going on. There are obvious vantage points at both bases including a viewing area at Coningbsy.
The views are good so both bases are good for reading off or photographing anything. Plus there's lots of other airfields nearby if you have the time. Hope this helps- if you do plan to go I can give you some more detailed advice.
Cheers
