A hill on the south side of the airfield locally known as plane tree hill gives very good views over the whole of the airport including both approaches. However the terrain is rather rough and tends to be frequented by motocross bikes and 4x4's. Photography is possible from here although a long lens is required. | |||
There is a bench on the right just before you enter the main runway tunnel heading north from which all movements can be seen and photographed, especially when runway 32 is in use. | |||
When runway 14 is in use a good location for viewing and photography is a place called cemetery road which can be reached by leaving the terminal and going straight on at the roundabout and taking a left at the end. Follow this road round under the approach and take your next right onto an elevated dead end road. | |||
There is also a footpath running along the south side near the threshold of runway 32 by the golf course however the perimeter fence is quite high here. | |||
Also a popular walking area, Yeadon Tarn provides good views of departing (runway 32) and arriving (runway 14) traffic. | |||
Runway 09/27 is now closed making runway 14/32 the sole runway. | |||
