Here’s a little map. Basically take the inner perimeter road that takes you past the 26L flightpath & the maintenance hangers, then walk down the A23 (dual carriageway), then cut through an Industrial Estate until you come to a ‘Travellodge’. Then head parallel to the runway down Charlwood road and it’s about 15-20 minutes from there – you’ll pass a pub on your left, plus BCP parking on your right, just before the road swings north to go under the flightpath.

Nice shots Tom where abouts at LGW do you go to get them fab shots.

Hi James

When 08R is in use, I go to the crash gate at the end of the runway. Luckily there are plenty of gaps to take photos in, plus approach shots are good as well. Difficult to get to without car – car must be parked down the road parallel to the runway, otherwise it’ll get moved away by security. Here is a picture of it: http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=465611

Unfortunately the weather was crap today so photos are not as good as they could have been.

Having said that, it is a good spotting place.
