Looking for some Safety Advice

Hi,

Im a photographer looking for some safety advice before I get myself cooked taking photographs of planes taking off/landing

The local airport here is Marshalls (Cambridge/EGSC). The Runway is only about 150feet from the parimeter of the field. I am wanting to get some shots of planes coming in down the line of the landing lights (that are accross a road and in a field).

The airport gets lots of C130 and occasionally 747s. The 747's I gather are right on the limit in terms of runway lenght so come in over the road pretty low..

If I am 150/200 feet off the end of the runway, am I in danger of getting any jet blast off the 747s as they come over head ?

Thanks for any help..
