The best place is floor 13 of the multistorey car park in T1 - you see miles more than at the viewing park. similar price too, these days :-)

The first 2 of these videos seem to be taken from a footpath along the south side of runway 2: does anybody know how you access this footpath?

There's a main road that goes under the runways and a roundabout just as it emerges on the southside. From there, there are footpaths that can take you towards either end of runway 2. You can also get to the north side of runway 2 and the runway lights of 05L.

I flew into Baku this afternoon, and was welcomed by the sight of this as we landed, I did get some pics, unfortunately they are all rather poor due to the sun

Pictures do not do this thing justice, it's absolutely MASSIVE, I'm just very happy to see it in the metal, a very nice start to my trip.

I saw it at the 1990 Farnborough Air Show.

Me too. I remember standing underneath it. I also remember the state of the tyres!
