I find it baffling why no-one seems to have the common sense to understand that aviation spotting/photography is a very big hobby for people worldwide and Heathrow is near the top of anyone’s list of airports to visit.
Heathrow has some of the best traffic in the world and we have to resort to aerial shots often in rubbish light. Ok it is possible to get ground shots but it aint that easy.
If Heathrow had a couple of dedicated spotting areas that are manned by security and you have to go through a security check they would make millions of pounds in revenue !
Look at the observation decks in Japan. They are absolutely wonderful – they are all free but I would happily pay to enter them.
I’ve often thought of someone starting a petition to get try to get some proper facility opened at Heathrow but it’d be a complete waste of time as the people who read it have heads full of porridge.
Gatwick is worse ! The police around there act as if we are in North Korea. Completely senseless.
