if only a quick visit park in morrisons car park you can see the biz hangars and apron from there...if you are trying to get round the hangars they are usually friendly...take a hiviz vest..a polite request usually gets you access or permission to walk along the front of the hangars.....no problem last month...

Bill the pathway behind Morrison's supermarket is excellent place to start for photographs and there are some very spotter friendly hangars that will let you photograph and log stuff. Just pop into each and ask, they can only refuse or allow. We have parked for free behind the big hangars near to the old terminal when the airport was open and walked around from there. Regards Beemer. PS. Excellent all-day breakfasts in Morrison's, recommended.

hi,
as has been said mostly all hangars are friendly only the Hele 2000 hangar nearest Morrisons I could not enter, but the other 3 by Morrisons said ok by all means but don't go out of the doors onto the apron. The 3 near the main entrance the Air centre is a donation of I think £3, ANT a man comes around with you but when I was there on the 20/10/15 he stood taking to some mechanics working on 1 a/c, and Hangar 8 was ok. 1 request if you go in ANT and Hangar 8 ask for the id's of the 2 bare metal frames, 1 in each please...
good luck, regards,
jack...
