Sorry Donnlass I don't know where it is exactly. I just saw the article mentioned somewhere so had a look at it.

Thats ok Wombat, thanks for posting it.


Someday we may be able to do the walk and have a look ourselves.


Would love to see planes coming in from that angle

If you had any real intent to cause damage, easy option, as was shown by the PIRA in approx 1990 in Whitehall in London, use a transit type van, fill it with mortar tubes with a remote timer and park it near by, say the farms on Roaring Gate Lane and aim at the frieght terminal hard standings or the remote parking areas or on any of the quiet areas near the new runway. Not difficult if you're determined and have absorbed the lessons of history.

By the way, no signs of any improvements of this nature at Liverpool or Oxford. Is MAN just over interpreting any instructions.

Our perimeter fence at Leeds / Bradford has been raised to about nine feet plus the razor wire. Obviously taking photo's of aircraft departing rw32 is a little more awkward from the Multiflight road, however in my opinion, the smaller mesh, with a thinner gauge wire makes taking a photo through the wire less of a problem.

Angel Viewing Park

Perhaps the game plan is to dissuade folk from visiting the park then close it down citing lack of visitors.
Just my view though.

But what would be the point of that?

Seeing that it is run by Bollin Valley not the airport.
