Maybe you should check-out the relevant sections for this (and your previous post regarding Marham). All the information you need is in the Linton, Leeming and Marham sections - maps, spotting locations, frequencies etc. - it's all there already.

Careful those animals in red suits are DANGEROUS for the public, please keep away from the fence. If they reach for a pencil through the fence, step back quickly. :lol: :lol:

These two will be near 30 ish by now. :unsure: At the time I had to laugh as I thought it a great way to restrain excitable young spotters.Just look at the one on the left and it looks like
like his left hand is gesturing,as to his thoughts about the situation.. :whistle: Image this other one from the early 90s shows the perks young lady spotters get,no problems interviewing these pilots.. :halo: Image :pop:
