So it's the normal landing procedure at Waddington to approach the runway at an altitude whereby you would hit any vehicle that happened to be on the road just prior to you crossing the threshold
And which is why if you have a close look on Google Earth (clicky) you can make out the solid white lines across the road which indicate where to stop when the red flashing lights (also just about visible on the road edge) that warn of an approaching aircraft are lit (even easier to see on Street View....the lights and warning signs that is, not the approaching aircraft!). Of course there are moron's who believe these lights are advisory....

Still not sure what a Typhoon landing on a MOB has to do with F35.....
