Ehup guys.
Don't post much on BPT but I'm always lurking smile.
There are some great shots and I want a piece of it!!!
My Mrs's grandfather has recently lost his wife and has taken up photography again after a few years away to busy himself. He's also a Plane fan. He was in the RAF as part of his national service stationed in Egypt working as ground crew.
I'm hell bent on getting him to the Mach loop for some spotting/Pics.
He's in his 70's so is there anywhere to see the jets up close without having to go mountaineering? Also is there any time that the jets are at the most regular I.E 3pm on a Wednesday? as it'll be a long drive for him since we're coming from Leeds.

Sorry to be so vague and asking stupid questions.

Cheers.

Unfortunately there is no set timetable and can unfortunately come away with seeing nothing sometimes. Theres a place called cad east, you can drive up a narrow farm track to the top then its about a gentle 10 min up hill stretch to the top. Only downside is you'll more than likely get underside shots with the most desired being top side shots.

Some examples of Cad East.
