Mighty fine set there indeed, one of my favourite places at that bridge.
DC10Rob… getting to the spot can be a challenge..walking from the terminal can take maybe 45 mins or so (not that i have ever tried 😮 ) there is a small woodland car park… if you look at the google maps link and you will see a track leading up from the east towards the spotting point…follow that back to the intersection with a road leading south..this is where you park.. to access it heading southbound on A5 (from terminal) just after you pass the stored aircraft on the right (DC3 etc…) take the exit on to the L2362 keeping left and take the very first left which is the road that will take you to the car park…it is then a 5 minute walk to the bridge.
Reason for all the tug activity is all the day stopping heavies get parked over that side near where the AFB used to be, and they are towed back and forth via that viewing spot.
