Tips and Locations

  Pre-Covid Spotting 
This page is designed to give a quick guide on some of the locations for photographing aircraft at different airports in Europe.

As many aviation enthusiasts know, since the terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001, very many official viewing locations were closed down and some people look upon aircraft enthusiasts with suspicion. Photographing aircraft is not illegal, but there are places where it is allowed and those where it is forbidden, for example, many airports do not allow photography inside the airport. Always observe signs and notices, I recommend carrying some form of ID. Some airport police forces now engage with local spotters for example, Stansted Airport Planewatch


Note that in large part, the locations listed are not official viewing areas and you are reminded to abide by all laws and common sense when it comes to visiting these places. I would always suggest keeping well back from fences, do not trespass on private land, and politely follow any requests or demands by those in authority.

These pages are provided as guidance only and cannot be used as for anything more than general information purposes. You are fully responsible for your own actions and for abiding by any instructions given by any airport official. No part of the "tips and locations" section is approved or endorsed by any airport or authority

 
  Stansted Airport

London Stansted Airport is the UK's 3rd Busiest after Heathrow and Gatwick and is home to Ryanair. However the airport also has many other operators and frequently hosts rare and unusual visitors.

  Luton Airport

London Luton is London's 4th busiest airport and is home to easyJet and Wizz Air. There are numerous other airlines that use the airport and some great views can be had here.

  London City Airport

Right in the heart of London's Docklands, London City Airport is a STOL - short takeoff and landing. Largely gone now, it used to be home to Fokker 50, & Avro RJ's but now more likely to see Embraer E-Jets

  Dublin & Cork

It's always great to find viewing locations at other airports and both Dublin and Cork offer some cracking views. Dublin tends to be a little more difficult due to the road traffic noise but still great for photography.

Crosswinds, Windshear, Go-Arounds - Flying through Storms!
  Storm Imogen 4K
  Storm Katie 4K
  Storm Jake 4K
In the first of the major weather events that I filmed, Storm Imogen provided some challenging conditions in which we see a very heavy landing of an MD-11, go arounds and more - enjoy from the comfort of being on terra-firma! It's been a stormy start to 2016 with no less than 3 big storm events filmed. Storm Katie brought the strongest winds gusting up to 50kts. This video captures a VERY HARD touchdown of an unusual visitor of Emirates Boeing 777 plus 2 go-arounds and turbulent approaches.  This video contains a number of crosswind landings. The video requested by news agency NewsFlare for it's newsworthy footage and later formed part of a Mail Online story. Watch a very turbulent ATR72, Boeing 747 and more!
