Looking to do some spotting from outside the base in a month or so. Would anyone have any recommendations on where it's possible to safely spot (view of landings)? Many thanks

Amazing thank you, so no problems with this spotting location? Looks a little close to the base?
Many thanks

No, there are often locals watching there as well.
They have 2 runways, the main runway is the other, but the times I was there, they used this a lot as well (mostly Carrier ops practise).
