Colin,
The Bravo turn off shots were taken from inside the airport fence over at the RAF side, however from outside the fence there is a place about 500 meters up the Killead Road on the right hand side heading towards RAF Aldergrove, a gate with a path leading to a the fence which looks straight at Alpha and the end of 25. I have met the Farmer a few times and he is great and will not bother you as long a s you go an introduce yourself as he walks the fields. Sometimes though there a quite a few cows on the path but again as long as you can stand the smell it’s fine! Here is a few shots from that position.



Any snags send me a pm, I am over on the 1st of April to make sure my daughter hasn’t burnt the house down!!!

Si,
Nice shots mate. That’s a spot I’ve never ventured too considering i’m a local! Did you get much bother being at the bottom end of 25?
Cheers
