Title: The Aviation Enthusiasts Security Scheme
Post by: viking9 on February 15, 2009, 06:37:42 PM

A little while ago one of our contributors mentioned an ID card for spotters which was acceptable at a number of airports. Unfortunately the link didn't work due to a missing character. I've just chanced upon the website; here is the link:

Hi Tom

My local airport does not recognise this scheme :-(

Although they have got to know me now :-)

Hi Kevin,

I imagine it wouldn't work at mil airfields either but it should help those visiting BAA owned sites.

I think RAF Coningsby have an id scheme.

This is a real good idea. So regarding Heathrow does it allow you into areas not allowed to others? or just used for observing from the Grass Verge at Myrtle Avenue etc ?

I assume it's just BAA airports that recognise the scheme but better to ask the TAESS themselves.
