Public Viewing Area

Post by lynothehammer » Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:53 pm

Just wondered if anyone could confirm if the viewing area is still available for the public ? I've not been there since 2012 and can't seem to find anything about it. Hopefully someone can help.

I'm afraid not, it's currently a construction site with site offices in it so off limits

Ah thank you, was hoping to get down to see the Drakken over the airshow period and was praying that would still be there. A shame really... :(

Any idea when they will complete the construction work.

Will it be re open to the public then.

As far as I'm aware, the current plan is to make it into a staff car park. Whether that is still the case remains to be seen but I wouldn't hold your breath for it to reopen

I went there yesterday and a guy in a high viz jacket directed me back to the terminal.

Looks as if spotting from inside the airport site is no longer possible.
