Have the parking locations changed since last reported?

Not as far as I’m aware all same or similar spots to previous btfs ,around Dunfield end aka bomber loop
If it helps parking spots 1&2 are by 1217 I think from memory....

Thanks for that. The last I read, they were all over the shop!

So Marston Meysey best for viewing/pics?

Not following the above description of these parking bays

From what I’ve seen the jets are parked at Bays 35 and 36, which are adjacent to Dunfield Ln about halfway down. The other two are parked in Bays 46 and 54, which are located halfway between Dunfield and Marston, but on the runway side of the taxiway. Best area to get shots of the latter two, would be to park up(safely), at Dunfield crash gate and walk through the field on the left, keeping to the fence line. I did this in 2018 when the -52’s were over and didn’t experience any problems with landowners or base security although the latter did keep an eye on me from a distance. You can see the bays on the Southside clearly marked in GoogleEarth.
