There is a map for Mildenhall on our site here - http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/guides/guide-menu.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thunder and Lightenings also have a guide for Lakenheath - http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk ... heath.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope thats some help.

I have only been to both once myself and went to point B on the Thunder and Lightenings Lakenheath guide and went to John's Field at Mildenhall. Both gave great views.

Johns Field has loads of space... might need to get some info from regualrs as to the state of the field and if it's open at the moment.

Lakenheath Point B is spot on, I was there Sunday and you get some lovely approach shots if they're on 24. If they're on 6 then L or M (or anywhere between those two) are the best for landing shots. You can't really go wrong with the Thunder and Lightnings Guide. With Mildenhall, there's a place at 29 end called the mound where if anything is coming in to 29 then you can get some nice pic's and alternatively if anything is going up from 11 likewise. You should also be able to get a good idea of spots on google earth.

HTH,
Cheers,
