RAF Valley Photo possibilities

I was told by a delivery driver today that he often parks up on a small road at one end of the runway at VALLEY, And he reckons you can get quite close up to Aircraft waiting to take-off. I have google earthed it, and you can see a small unamed road there. Have any of you Chaps been there, or know of this location, and is it any good for Pics 😉

It is a good location I first went there in 1958 photographing a Vulcan and Swift also these days I believe you can get quite a tan from the afterburners at take off.
I went back last year for a photoday organised I think each year by some society there may be someone can post more details, anyway give it a try.
