"I fly from somewhere that is probably very close to Waddington" Hmm, you fly and you don't know the exact location of your home airfield?
"Standing in the fast lane of the M1" There is no such thing as a 'fast lane' on a U.K. motorway.
This is just the kind of thing that drags PPrune down.
If you are willing to take that risk then fair enough, but why not spare a thought for the poor sod that knocks your head off and has to live the rest of his life with that.
I will say it only once, anyone standing under the approach is risking their life; it is not a game, none of the pilots can see you (nor are they looking for you), all they are concentrating on is the most critical phase of any flight, the landing; and sometimes even the best pilots get it a bit pearshaped. That's the reason why you are not supposed to be there, it's for your safety.
The main thrust of Thing's comment is still perfectly valid, whatever you may think of his geographical orientation or his knowlege of the Highway Code.
