Nice viewing area for kids, needs cheaper food kiosks though. Nice aviation shop, although it had Palestinian flags in window so did not go in. Cafe way overpriced.

Great place to see the planes from, with a bit of shelter to sit in and watch. There's a cafe, gift shop and toilets all easily accessible. We did have to pay £5 for the carpark, so make the trip count.
