With All due respect, About 12 police cars drove past me, the officers smiled. Airband radios are legal in the UK providing they are one way like mine. I know BAA are very strict as have friends and family memeber who work for the airlines and at the airport. Plus I have been up Heathrows newest tower and spoken the various Air Traffic Controllers, so I really dont see the problem.
Thats suprising! I have seen at least 5 spotters being booked at the end of 27R. I thought it was Illegal to tune into Heathrow tower but some people including yourself say the police don't care! I'm amazed you got to go up the new heathrow tower that must of been fun! Have a look at spottersWiki for more info! Sorry for the spelling mistake! I'm a fast typer. Happy spotting. Are you a new plane spotter that has just come over from train spotting? Welcome to the club!
Yes that is true I have seen some spotter moved on from this location, it really depends on the mood of BAA security and police officers and if their has been any recent terrorism activity. If you park you car or bicycle near the 27R crash gate you will be moved on but if on foot your likely to be left alone.
Sorry mate you shouldn't reakky be doing this. I'm suprised they didn't send tower security after you. The BAA are very strict you know!
