What is great about Brunters is how relaxed it all is. When the Comet/Victor were taxiing in, you could stand right beside them - no barriers or officials moving you on (apart from a point just to the left of where the main crowd were gathered) which is somewhat suprising in terms of H & S! And, oh yes, when we were asked to move from a grass area beside the taxi way because it was about to become a runway for GA traffic!
But even then, Mr Walton (the boss) kindly suggested we just walk into the crop...(yes, a portion of crop growing in the middle of an Airfield!!) and view from the tractor tramline!

That shows just how caring and enthusiastic the Brunters team are, so thanks very much Mr Walton!
It's a much better view from there because although it's further back, it's more towards the centre of the runway length so you see the aircraft coming towards you.
£15 is a bit steep perhaps for what you get, but it all goes to help run these fine machines.
I took some a shots of XR807 which I'll post at some point.
And no...she didn't get air under her wheels this time, much more sedate run!!

Looks a tad too brown now, to me though.
