Hello all,
Spent a first spotting/photting session at Gatwick Airport last month. Went down by train from Salisbury (drove down from Trowbridge) so I could use my Network Railcard discount, and saved driving all the way there and back.
Was a very nice day weather wise, no problems from airport security, and copped 73 new serials I needed.
