One question. Is is mentioned in the guide Block 94 crash gate: A real no-no, the Police will see you off from here quicker than anything! If you dare to venture into here.

Why is that? Is planespotting illegal in the UK?
No it is not illegal but parking in stupid places is! The name should give you a clue. The crash gate is to allow fire and ambulance services access to the runways without having to go through the tunnels. So the last thing that is needed is the emergency services having to move parked cars.
