Skymonster, awesome photos. Can I ask you how do you get to the locations that you took the photo’s ? Would I be right in assuming that you carry on down the Wilmslow road past the Aviation Park and under the tunnel and turn left ?

Thanks, and yes you are! Right, that is! Under the runways, hang a left at the roundabout, park in the little lane between the gate and the hotel (no no-parking lines in that lane, but don’t obstruct it!). Then its a walk! Cross back across the main road (heading west), up the steps, and follow the path. You go behind the new runway fire station, and then down to the Bolin River and up the other side. After that, you’re above the fence and where you stand depends on whether you get rotations, still on the runway, or climbers – its usually a mixed bag at any point on the bank as different a/c rotate at different places. The approach shots were taken from the field next to the Trident fire trainer – there’s a footpath across the field although the sign for it is well disguised by foliage right now, but its just on the first 90 degree left hand bend in the road at that end of the airport.
