Hi Raymond, this helpful post on the forum a few days ago should help
quote=sschofield post_id=1221059 time=1599301602 user_id=215]
With credit to Paul Williamson on MSF;

The Drive-through shelters the F-35s operate from are at: 52.638676 0.537346

Park at field entrance at: 52.634442 0.540727 or

Hill overlooking 06 threshold at: 52.633287 0.526572

You can see (and read some of) the aircraft from the A1122 between these points, but beware of the traffic as it is pretty fast moving and drivers are often “rubber-necking” the airfield rather than expecting pedestrians. For catching the flying, normal operations are on runway 24, best place to park is at: 52.658676 0.579762

I've taken the liberty to converted Bob's info above into direct links on Google maps. Caveat his comments: most of these places need great care because of traffic; even turning out of the viewpoint can be precarious with 25 ton tractors speeding past!
