Other Spotting Locations

08R Crash Gate

Probably the most popular spot at Gatwick, it's excellent for shooting aicraft taxing and holding for departure from 08 (and as a result is only available 30% of the time). The spot provides several different angles depending on where along the crash gate you shoot from. If a ladder is used please take it down after you have taken your shot.

26L - Inner Perimeter Road

The best place to be probably when 26L is in use, which is about 70% of the time. Provides good landing views and picture opportunities. Very limited shots of ground activity although it is possible through a fence.
