Yesterday, I had a bright idea; I thought I would try photographing aircraft at night.
So, I picked a location off the departure end of Heathrow's Rwy 27L.
I then checked on what sort of "heavy" aircraft would be departing and off I set. I had already accepted this was only an experiment so I shouldn't be disappointed if it didn't all go swimmingly.

I thought I might try Gatwick for a change. Having never been there, I was wondering where would be the best spot for some decent photos.

Who can point to a couple of good spots for either arrivals or departures?
All inputs gratefully received.
