I tend to agree. There cannot be many airports where you could photograph or film at such close quarters all the bizjets as they disembarked their pax. The fact that SEN have now removed this option is understandable and not really surprising. A dedicated viewing area would be nice but I'm sure that it would not offer anywhere near such close access as was previously possible adjacent to the Jet Centre.
