Luton Airport Viewing Spots..

[smudger98]

Does any of the nice local Luton spotters know if Chiltern green road is still good for viewing, I understand a new higher fence was installed - or if anyone knows a good off airport spot for the car, SBS & camera as im looking to spend a full day there..??

Happy to take a pm for any secret locations..

Cheers,

The road leading to the crash gate off Chiltern Green road is still an excellent spot. The higher fence was installed to the right of the crash gate but to the left of it the lower fence remains so a small 2 step ladder is all that is required, or nothing at all if unlike me your 6ft +.
Parking can get busy in the lane, especially at weekends but there is always somewhere to park up down the lane. Pictures are good from this spot with the sun behind until about 5pm. The long term car park has recently introduced an hours free parking and this can also yield a few bonus shots of the parked execs.

Here are a couple of shots taken just left of the crash gate to give an indication of what is possible, it works well for both runways 26 & 08 but i much prefer 26
