cheers, just wanted to see whether or not it wud be worth venturing around the field…

shame about the views… i was hoping to go up to NCl tomorrow morning for some shots on my new digicam seeing as this is the first weekend ive had off work since last august 😮

in the long-term though i think the disruption will be well worth it. the pics you see above show an extension on to what was a roof of the level below the one where the cafe/bar stands. this was a total pain in the ass for viewing the tarmac and runway in the past so hopefully this will change as and when this new extension on the first floor is completed – giving uninterupted views of the closest parked aircraft (often BA birds) and the runway area in general.

if i can blag the car in the morning i’m definitely going to have a drive up, will post the pics as and when tomorrow – depending on whether or not i can use the digicam :rolleyes:

cheers,

pretty sure thats not Monarch purple – well not to me anyway!!

Its Greek registered so i’m guessing its not leased from Monarch. Won’t their aircraft be wanted back from leases soon to begin offering tour operators summer capacity!?

you can still sit in the cafe area upstairs in the terminal, getting reg’s etc without any problems. u get a fairly good view of the whole field from up there – the only problem being an obscured view because of the departures hall which is significantly lower vertically than where the food area is, moving away you.

if you take alook at http://www.airnorth.co.uk theres a few spotting places featured that are off the field and within walking distance from the terminal.

if you’ve any questions martin, or anyone else, just post back and i’ll do my best to answer…
