No problem 🙂 That one seems to of been in since around September or so I think. I’ve got no idea when its leaving.

Dont worry about the security as such. They generally dont do anything. Normally airfield ops will come and say hi but thats all. If you say you’re taking pics they’re fine about it. I know some spotters ask ops before hand over by the tower if its okay. I’ve not done this as I fly from cranfield and know my limits as such when taking pics only 🙂

Yep, they tend to have a nice break for xmas there. Normally from xmas eve to around 3rd or so of January.
