Don't need a scanner to find out the current runway operations at BNE. Just a quick call to my parents will do, and ask them which way the planes are currently flying over their house (towards the airport or away from the airport). Dad says he has to climb onto the roof regularly to scrape off the tyre marks from those that come in a little low .

So if they are using RW01 for arrivals, they will get a good look at the undercarriage and wing surface area (under-side) from directly underneath.
