Now that the cafe has closed, many of the local Newcastle spotters have moved places, I have found the bar to be Ok but the View is slowly get worse as the build frame is get put up and view soon will be impossible from the bar, you can not view the interrnational side of aircraft due to the building work, only if you are flying passenger.

The Bar is good for overshoots and you can get most of stuff taxiing passed you or as they take off,  hopefully they dedicate a view area for the spotters in future

You are able to use this field aloe it is rather cold at the moment but it is a nice spot in the summer as long as the council cut the bushes down you get great ramp shot, or if the are land 07 you get some excellent landing shots or if they are taking off 25 you get some great shots of the aircraft taking off.

The only other place left at the moment is the Aeroclub, the aeroclub is happy for you to use there faclity as long as you buy a drink, it has a good view of all the stands except stand 12 where KLM's park, you are so close to GA ramps so biz jet taxi stright passed you, there is a bar garden situated within the aeroclub and is good for photos as it wired fence. The aeroclub is where you are most like to find me as it a great atmisphere, the only negitave point is that you sometime miss the overshoots.
