Some awesome pics. Sure the MOD are ok with people snapping pics of planes etc? It's not private property or anything is it?

It's up the side of a large bloody hill, not private.
Bart just type in mach loop and it will bring it up.

I've just been having a quick read and it says you can be there all day and see nothing... so a 3 hour drive to potentially see nothing. Not that keen anymore
