Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Maybe this will help.

You take exit 33 - Oldenzaal zuid on the A1.
At the end of the exit you take the direction of Enschede.
At the traffic lights at the McDonalds you go right and immediately left on to the Noordergrensweg.
At the end go to the left on to the Grefterberghoekweg.
After 1km or so you can go right.
Drive towards the old taxiway in front of the old 'run-up'.
You can park there.
Follow the blue line by foot toward the spottershill.

The spottershill is on top off shelter 524!
You will need about 130mm DX and 200mm FX.

Do you happen to know where the A400 has been parked? (aka, visible from somewhere this evening)

-- Via PM I received the message that it was parked on the old cross service platform on the north side of the field. Thanks Vonk179 !
