Been an aircraft enthusiast since a boy but only just now got to buy a scanner. On a camping trip to Thetford this month and wanted to get any advice on best viewing area for Lakenheath and can I use a scanner on the public car park viewing area?
Thanks.

Hi Tractaboy
Try this link to Perez's great web page - scroll down to the Lakenheath map and download it - also has all the frequencies on it and photography spots and the Park & View area

Using a scanner is not a problem - just remember to take your rubbish home or dispose of it properly
Hope this helps

no movements at all? Did you go on a weekend or something?
