==Locations to Avoid==


Avoid the road on the south side of the airport leading to the RAF camp. There are security cameras mounted along here and anything more than a 10 second stop is likely to result in you being stopped by the military. The "south side" of the airport in general is out of bounds unless you have permission from someone within the RAF camp.

The "south side" of the airport in general is out of bounds unless you have permission from someone within the RAF camp. If runway 35 is in use (not often) do not be tempted to locate a spot near the threshold as this is well within the unofficial security zone for the RAF site.
 
Security is reasonably tight around the perimeter in general and you might be stopped by either airport police (most common), PSNI (Northern Ireland police force) or British Army. The airport police are fine if you explain what you are doing. They might even offer some advice! The PSNI and army are less regular visitors but you would undoubtedly run into them if you stopped anywhere around the south side of the airport. The locations on approach to 25 are fine as long as you adhere to the signage, you shouldn't have any bother.
