THIS IS THE MAP WE SAID WE WOULD PUT ON REF GATWICK SPOTTING

Posted by Airspotters on 9th Mar 2024

THIS IS THE MAP I SAID I WOULD PUT ON : Had loads of request to where I was when i took the photos of the aircraft landing on the windy day. Some by crew actually flying in that day as well. Here it is for you to look at. There are no paths to this point. There was some once but have been allowed to be overgrown and tree branches block the path. You must be carefully and walk on the grass with of course good shoes on, if you have any concerns simply do not try. 

It easy for me as I been doing this walk for over 50 years. Once you are there you will see gaps in the hedge

and you can look through the fence. You will get Gatwick security inside the airport stop and look at you. I

normally wave back and sometimes they do as well. Occasionally police will stop and check you as well from

the road that's happened to me twice but again no issue. You on public land and as long as you not trying to

cause airport havoc your be fine. DO NOT WALK DOWN TO THE EMERGENCY GATE. It is opposite

Binoculars word on the map. This is set up with sensors and they will go off if you get within 2 meters of it.

Then you will be in trouble. I was once and was escorted back to my car and it saved me walking back. 

LEGAL BIT : I have no authority here and just use my years of knowledge as a photographer and spotter. to

advise others who like doing this too. You go there under your own motivation Any injury through falling on

the grass/road or traffic incident (it's a busy road) is your own fault and not mine. Follow any instruction or

orders by the POLICE or Security give you and do as they say. I seen a few park here on the bend and been

rude when spoken too. They lost their car and were probaly charged. The signs are clear no parking even on

the verge simply walk from the layby. Airspotters.com
