Warton

1East side approach

This is the main spot for Warton. Take some steps with you because there is a large wooden fence around the perimeter. To arrive at this spot leave the A584 at the first roundabout after entering Freckleton. Drive onto the Lytham Road, take the first left onto the Kirkham Road, then the first right onto the Preston Old Road to take the second right onto the Naze Lane E. Follow this road along the aerodrome perimeter to arrive at the spot. From here you will have a good view of the landing aircraft to the west. As the aircraft have to backtrack the runway to the beginning it will give you ample time for photographing. But this is also the spot with easterly winds. All aircraft will pass the taxi track after landing so they have to backtrack the runway to exit the runway via this taxi track.

2View of hangars

If you drive further along the road, you will come to a spot where you will have a good view of some hangars. There is also a Tornado outside.

3View from the west

For a view onto the Typhoon production hangar and the preserved Lightning you will have to continue along the A584. When passing the large factory at your left and a extended camping site at your right, there will be a road to the left called Bank Lane. Take this road to drive along the perimeter. Park your car at any convenient place and have a look onto the aprons including the preserved Lightning.

4West side approach

It is also possible to reach the approach to runway 08. Follow the road from spot 3, Bank Lane. After the built-up area go left at the T-junction and park your car. Walk into the field. Please note that your are very close and the wooden fence is in your way because the aircraft will be very low already. So bring a step ladder and short lens!
